Olmsted Jr.: the Jefferson Memorial, the
White House grounds, and the National Mall, to name a few. Now, a new book,
mmersion: Living and Learning in an Olmsted Garden, explores the history behind a privately owned garden by the famed landscape architect, following a restoration done by the owner of the property.
Nola Anderson and her husband, Jim Mullen, purchased a property in Manchester-By-The-Sea, Massachusetts, known as The Chimneys, in 1991. The estate included an unkempt Italianate garden.
But nearly a century prior, between 1902 and 1914,
Olmsted had lovingly brought the gardens at The Chimneys to life for the property s original owners, Boston financier Gardiner Martin Lane and his wife, Emma. Due to unforeseen circumstances, the grounds were neglected for more than 40 years―until Anderson decided to take up gardening for the first time, in order to revitalize and preserve the property.
