Isabelle Clara Greene Herbaria
Description
Landscape architect and artist Isabelle Greene (b. United States, 1934) studied botany with a taxonomic emphasis at UCLA and art at UCSB. She worked as a botanical illustrator. Inadvertently, she also began dealing with landscape, through her desire to bring to people her love of the natural landscape. Her first commission in 1964 quite naturally utilized native plants and other sustainable features. It was her deep curiosity about the well-working of natural systems and the beauty of the western geography that propelled her forward. Constantly innovating to meet challenges, her successful experiments became known worldwide and she was hailed one of the originators of modern landscape design. She has designed hundreds of gardens throughout the nation, especially in Southern California, and has been awarded many accolades for her designs.
