- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 19 Apr, 2026 at 02:00 pm – Sun, 19 Apr, 2026 at 03:00 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: Take a step back in history to the Gilded Age in the Hudson Valley, when a young landscape gardener at the height of her powers was commissioned to create a pleasure garden for one of New York’s most powerful families.

On Sunday, April 19 from 2-3 p.m. at the East Gate Plaza in Poughkeepsie, Ashley Gamell will share the story of this special “secret” garden, the fascinating woman who created it, and the decades long, volunteer-led effort to resurrect the garden and complete Farrand’s vision of a native “wild garden” for the site. She’ll highlight some of the garden’s signature plants and design lessons for Hudson Valley gardeners to take home with them, and share what’s next for the garden – a newly launched rejuvenation project.

Ashley Gamell, the Director of Horticulture and Interpretation at Beatrix Farrand Garden at Bellefield, is an ecological landscape designer, horticulturist, educator, and author, with a passion for public gardens and connecting people with the world of plants and nature. She spent a decade at Brooklyn Botanic Garden before opening her own landscape design firm in the Hudson Valley and is also a consultant for Partners for Climate Action, working on an initiative to conserve Hudson Valley pollinators.

All Walkway Connections events are free to attend and appropriate for all ages.
