Join Allen this Earth Day for a celebration of Frederick Law Olmsted’s 200^th birthday. Allen will discuss the parallels of his life in England with insights from the Father of American landscape architecture, Frederick Law Olmsted.

Olmsted’s 1852 (180^th anniversary) publication Walks And Talks Of An American Farmer In England was an inspiration to Allen as he created Moss Mountain Farm.
