Beatrix Farrand, née Jones, was not only the first professional American woman landscape architect, she was also a member of the Jones family—the family whose social status is the origin of the phrase, "Keeping up with the Joneses." Her aunt was none other than novelist Edith Wharton, and her mother, Minnie Cadwalader Jones, was famous in literary circles in her own right. In honor of these towering women, we'll be reading and discussing Wharton's classic work, The House of Mirth, in the garden. Led by our own librarian, Michelle Montalbano. RSVP here.
