Dumbarton Oaks<br />
Dumbarton Oaks<br />
1921-1947<br />
Washington, DC<br />
Beatrix Farrand designed the Dumbarton Oaks <strong>Garden</strong>, located in the<br />
Georgetown Section of Washington, DC, between 1921 and 1947 for client Mildred Barnes Bliss.<br />
Dumbarton Oaks is one to the nation’s finest surviving gardens of the Country House Era. The<br />
present garden, consisting of all the original formal spaces and some of the naturalistic portions,<br />
was given to Harvard University in 1941.<br />
In 1941 Beatrix Farrand wrote her <strong>Plant</strong> Book that outlined her design philosophy<br />
for the gardens and included a detailed plant list for each section of the garden. 1980 the Trustees<br />
for Harvard, Dumbarton Oaks, published Beatrix Farrand’s <strong>Plant</strong> Book for Dumbarton Oaks, edited<br />
by Diane Kostial McGuire. The following is compiled from that publication.<br />
