Abstract

Gardens and landscapes are more vulnerable to change, alteration, decay and consideration of the grounds of Strawberry Hill when he delivered the Mellon Lectures on Horace Walpole at the National Gallery in Washington, DC, in disappearance than are buildings.

But it also makes the former home at Farmington, Connecticut (part of the collections of Yale conservation or restoration of them exceptionally challenging. Join the University), especially the various imagery that records the site, and upon the obligations of the garden historian to the task of the landscape restorer (forget, huge published correspondence, Sarah Katz has established a detailed for the moment, the role of the fundraiser), and the issues become exceedingly chronology of the garden and landscape.
