It’s caterpillar time — even along a busy sidewalk.
Celebrating 100 years at Dumbarton Oaks! Jonathan Kavalier, Director of Gardens and Grounds, described the synergy between science and the arts in the gardens. Here’s what I learned!

Winding along the pathways of Dumbarton Oaks is an adventure through time in a world of magnificent trees and floral borders. Jonathan Kavalier, Director of Gardens and Grounds, spoke to me about the beauty of Beatrix Farrand’s design for the gardens — in the first of two articles in the online journal Plantings. www.worldsensorium.com/rediscovering-Dumbarton-Oaks
