A master of landscape architecture, Charles Gillette (1886-1969) shaped the distinctive ‘Virginia Garden’ style, seamlessly blending classical European influences with the Southern landscape. Curators Amie Rennolds and Mimi Sadler, both accomplished architects, have meticulously assembled a compelling exploration of Gillette’s legacy. Fourteen projects – spanning educational, commercial, and residential landscapes – are presented through stunning photography and detailed architectural renderings, offering uniques insights into a visionary approach.
