Gardens at Bamboo Brook

Arts & Culture
Martha Brookes Hutcheson, renowned as one of America’s first professional female landscape architects, lived at Merchiston Farm, now called Bamboo Brook, from 1911 to 1959. These gardens are an example of an early 20th-century landscape designed by Hutcheson in the mode of the country place era and embody many of her design principles and ideals. In 1989, Merchiston Farm was listed on the New Jersey and National Registers of Historic Places.
