Garland Farm was the last home of renowned landscape architect Beatrix Farrand. At the age of 83, she dismantled her ancestral home, Reef Point, and moved herself and her favorite plants to a new apartment built onto the house of her close friends and co-workers, Amy and Lewis Garland. There she installed an ?instant? and private garden, placing her beloved heaths and heathers and other perennial flowers in a walled enclosure outside her quarters and dispersing her prized bushes, shrubs and trees around the grounds of the vernacular farmhouse. While Farrand is nationally known for commissions including Dumbarton Oaks in Washington, D.C., there are only a few other surviving examples of the more than 50 gardens she designed on Mt. Desert Island. Garland Farm was placed in the National Register of Historic Places as the last, and personally most intimate, garden created by this master landscape architect.
