Beatrix Farrand was a celebrated American garden designer. With no formal qualifications she set up business in New York as a landscape designer. Some of her finest work was produced at the universities of Princeton, Yale, and Harvard's, Dumbarton Oaks. Gertrude Jekyll's garden plans were acquired by Farrand and bequeathed to the School of Environmental Design at the University of California, Berkeley. [The Reef Point Collection]

Farrand and Walling were not aware of each other and yet there is a similarity in their work.
