The lecture will focus on Shipman’s unique style that saw more than 600 lush, formal gardens commissioned between 1910-1950 by, among others, the Fords, Edisons and duPonts. Shipman also ran her own New York firm, which employed only women.
Tankard is an art historian specializing in landscape and garden history, the author of a dozen books – including “Ellen Shipman and the American Garden,” which received the J.B. Jackson Book Prize in 2019 – and the recipient of a gold medal from the Massachusetts Horticultural Society in 2000.
