Movie Night – Beatrix Farrand Documentary
The Life and Gardens of Beatrix Farrand Tuesday, February 24, 2026, 5:30 pm – 6:30 pm Land Alliance Tavern House Office 347 Oyster Bay Road, Locust Valley, NY 11560 This is the first documentary ever produced about the life and gardens of Beatrix Farrand, the most successful female landscape architect in early 20th century America and one of the founders of the American Society of Landscape Architects. This compelling film chronicles the life of Beatrix Farrand (1872-1959), the niece of Edith Wharton, who grew up in the privileged world of the East Coast elite and fought through the challenges of working in a male-dominated profession to design over 200 landscape commissions during her remarkable 50-year career. The documentary takes viewers on an inspiring journey across the country as we explore her personal story and many of her most spectacular gardens many of which culminated in “open space”. Featured gardens include: Dumbarton Oaks in Washington, D.C.; the Peggy Rockefeller Rose Garden at the New York Botanical Garden; Garland Farm in Bar Harbor, Maine; the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Garden in Bar Harbor, Maine. The narrative is recounted through interviews with Farrand scholar Diana Balmori, landscape historian Judith Tankard, and landscape architect Shavaun Towers. Current photographs and footage of more than 50 Farrand-related sites along with archival images from the Beatrix Farrand Archives at the University of California Berkeley are woven together to bring to life Beatrix Farrand’s extraordinary story, reminding us why her awe-inspiring work is still relevant to this day. This event is free, but advance registration is required. After you have registered, but before the event, we will email you to confirm your attendance and provide more detailed information. If you are unable to attend, please contact us at 516-922-1028 or info@northshorelandalliance.org, as this will help us register those on the waiting list.

Orienteering Course | Nissequogue River State Park
Orienteering Course Saturday, March 21, 2026, 11:00 AM Nissequogue River State Park 799 Saint Johnland Road, Kings Park, NY 11754 Led by Glen Malings, Long Island Orienteering Club Afraid you’re relying too much on GPS? Want to practice your map reading skills? Orienteering is like a treasure hunt in the woods, using a map to find controls (box shaped flags) hanging from trees. We’ll give instructions and then you can go out alone or with friends. The course should take about an hour, if you don’t get lost. Glen, who heads the Long Island Orienteering Club, started to get temporarily lost, when he was 12, by riding east on his bike. He always made it back home. This event is free, but advance registration is required. Meeting location will be emailed to registrants. After you have registered, but before the event, we will email you to confirm your attendance and provide more detailed information. If you are unable to attend, please contact us at 516-922-1028 or info@northshorelandalliance.org, as this will help us register those on the waiting list.
