About this presentation

Olmsted was famous for designing many well-known parks, campuses, and housing developments including Central Park in New York City. To Olmsted, parks were as much about the mental, physical, and social health of communities as they were about aesthetics and his theories about the restorative benefits of time spent in nature and the democratic value of public parks are now proven.
​
Presenter Suzanne Bishop is a Portland native and a Vice Chair on the Garden History and Design Committee at the Garden Club of America. She is a student of the history of Oregon gardens and landscapes and looks forward to sharing Olmsted’s history and accomplishments.
