Planting Fields es una casa de campo inglesa transportada a la costa norte de Long Island, a unos 48 kilómetros/30 millas al este de Manhattan. Esta lujosa mansión de estilo Tudor, que alguna vez fue el hogar de William R. Coe, presidente de Johnson & Higgins, y su esposa, Mai, heredera de la fortuna de Standard Oil, se encuentra en un paisaje de 400 acres de césped ondulado, jardines formales y bosques.



Ahora abierto al público como Parque Histórico del Estado de Nueva York, Planting Fields figura en el Registro Nacional de Lugares Históricos, y sus céspedes y jardines atraen a más de 250.000 visitantes al año y albergan reuniones informales y celebraciones.



Este nuevo libro cuenta la historia de Planting Fields a través de impresionantes fotografías nuevas de David Almeida, imágenes históricas y bocetos y planos de los hermanos Olmsted que capturan el espíritu de este raro superviviente de la era Country Place. Una convincente introducción del destacado historiador Witold Rybczynski explora a los diseñadores que le dieron forma y a las familias que vivieron allí, y ensayos adicionales examinan la historia del sitio y el desplazamiento de los pueblos indígenas, además de esbozar el plan futuro para la sostenibilidad y la resiliencia en la restauración del paisaje
