Our Mission is to honor and share the environmental and design legacy of Beatrix Farrand by preserving Farrand’s Bellefield Garden, offering programs that educate visitors about Farrand’s pioneering work and increasing public use and enjoyment of the garden.
As the earliest existing example of her private work, the garden at Bellefield is a striking illustration of Farrand's masterful design skills, presented in an intimate and accessible setting. As a living testament to Farrand's influential horticultural legacy -- one of America’s finest landscape architects and earliest woman landscape gardener, as she preferred to be called -- the garden provides an ideal platform to tell her story through lectures, tours and educational programs.
Bellefield mansion is part of the Roosevelt-Vanderbilt National Historic Sites, and the Beatrix Farrand Garden Association is a formal Park Partner organization working with the National Park Service.
