Digging Deeper: Alice Livingston and the Making of Clermont’s Historic Gardens
Germantown, NY
About
This Digging Deeper is presented in partnership with Friends of Clermont State Historic Site.
During her time in Italy, Alice Delafield Clarkson Livingston (1872–1964) fell in love with the beauty of classical garden design.
When she returned home to Clermont, she blended those Italian influences with the charm and natural grace of English-style gardens.
In the 1930s, Alice created the Walled, Wilderness, and Cutting Gardens, each with its own character and story to tell.
Join us as we explore how her creativity shaped the timeless landscape we enjoy today.
This Digging Deeper Host reports the following Terrain Notes about the garden: We recommend comfortable footwear, as the tour will take place outdoors on grassy and uneven surfaces.
