As Garden and Landscape Studies approaches its fortieth anniversary in 2012, we have asked former fellows to provide narratives about the impact on their work of their time at Dumbarton Oaks, together with a list of publications completed or substantially advanced while in residence. We will make these responses available as part of the anniversary observations. Meanwhile, we encourage the global community of landscape scholars to keep us apprised of their cur- rent activities and publications.

Online exhibits now complement many of the shows in the research library. inquiry in which images of plants and animals are created by an artist to record information for study purposes. Illustrations can range from the depiction of a mouse in its natural habitat to the detailed rendering of the metamorphosis of a moth. Botanical illustration grew out of natural history representations, and it is logical that the Rare Book Collection should house some of the seminal works in the field. They offer interesting comparisons, particularly in terms of subject matter, composition, level of detail, and stylistic treatment. While the works exhibited are disparate in many respects, the common thread among them was to record nature, whether for medicinal, scientific, or decorative purposes.

Robert’s later work for the Académie Royale des Sciences was rooted in scientific study, while Monnoyer’s style was generally far more decorative and flamboyant, as exemplified in his dramatic flower arrange- ments that were rendered with botanical accuracy. The Rare Book Collection owns variant editions of Mémoires pour servir a histoire des plantes (Memoirs Useful for the History of Plants), a seminal work of Robert, as well as Le Livre de toutes sortes de fleurs daprés nature (A Book of All Kinds of Flowers from Nature), a collection of engraved and etched plates by Monnoyer. While the work of both men required close observation of the natural world, their styles contrast in design, composition, and intent. The exhibit presented a representative overview of the work of both men and the milieu in which they worked.

In the late 1930s, Beatrix Farrand designed a brick wall with limestone ornament to replace a holly hedge that separated the Music Room Terrace, with its large white oak, from the adjacent Office Garden. The oak tree’s roots slowly pushed the wall to the east, cracking the limestone ornament and the joints connect- ing the wall to the Music Room. To straighten the wall, John Pond removed all ornament, cut through the joint, braced the wall from both wall sides, excavated the base of the wall, jacked the wall into plumb, poured a foundation, and then replaced the ornament. Once the wall was plumb with a full foundation, the garden staff planted camellias, hellebores, and groundcovers in the beds on each side.

In the summers since 2009, the Garden and Landscape Studies program and the Gardens have jointly sponsored three summer interns to work within the gardens and to conduct research within the library. Each year one intern has worked with Paul Cote, geo- graphic information systems specialist at Harvard’s Graduate School of Design, to create a geographic database designed to record and organize information for improved management of the garden and its components. Included within the system are tree maintenance records, locations of utilities, topographical con- tours, and changes in the garden’s design and plantings over time.

The Orangery during renovation, July 2011. adjacent powder room to accommodate workshops and meetings. Another substantial project is the Orangery accessibility and resto- ration, which adds new floor space for an accessible restroom and a catering kitchen annex. This project includes the restoration of the glazed roofing system of the Orangery, the replacement of roof gutter and fire suppression systems, and the refurbishment of the finishes on walls and ceilings of the area that connects the Main House to the Orangery. The third project that is currently under- way in the concept-planning stage is that of the restoration of the sixty-two pairs of window shutters for the Main House. After a dozen years without window shutters on the Main House, there are plans currently underway to have them restored and rein- stalled before the end of the spring 2012 term. Many other projects loom on the horizon, including improvements and corrections to the building envelopes, which are in early planning stages.

guide is available to all staff members on the intranet. In February 2011, the Green Team hosted an information session by Clean Currents, the region’s leading provider of clean energy alternatives, with an eye toward encouraging colleagues to con- sider the program at home and toward decreasing our reliance on nonrenewable energy sources at Dumbarton Oaks. In April 2011, a “Junk the Junk Mail” event drew members of the Dumbarton Oaks community to a morning coffee, which emphasized efforts that we can all take to reduce the amount of paper waste produced by junk mail. Prizes were distributed for participating in a junk mail weigh-in; the contest and the event provided an opportu- nity to distribute environmentally friendly products and to unveil newly designed reusable cups. The Green Team also updated and enhanced signage across campus for recycling and compost bins, light switches, and public copiers as part of the 2011 Earth Day events. It also completed the Green Garbage Guide, a handy refer- ence guide for the disposal of items we use everyday at work. The guide is available to all staff members on the intranet.

The 2010 season brought more than 23,000 visitors to the Dumbarton Oaks Gardens. Garden Gate The 2010 garden season was an excellent one. As manager of Garden Gate operations, Helen Hubbard-Davis streamlined pro- cedures for daily ticket sales as well as for season membership to our historic gardens. Season members are now included in out- reach efforts by the museum and other departments and receive communications about events and sales that may be of interest to them. For the third year, the gardens and museum participated in Museum Day, an annual event sponsored by Smithsonian Magazine; both the gardens and the museum experienced impres- sive attendance figures. Additionally, the gardens enjoyed a third year of steady growth in paid admission; in collaboration with many departments and programs across the institution, we con- tinue work to improve our management of such a high volume of visitors and to ensure that the public enjoys pleasant visits to our beautiful property.
