Landscape Plan for PPIE

Now that I know what it takes to create a landscape plan, it's a hoot to see the plan for PPIE. At the California Historical Society exhibit "City Rising" the landscape plan for PPIE is hung on a wall in the main room. The tiny signature on right? Looks like it was approved by J. McLaren. Or maybe it's signed by his son, Donald McLaren, with a skipping pen. Fred Hammerstrom was Donald McLaren's draftsman.

This is one of the places I would have visited frequently at PPIE to see what was growing. I will start parking photos of the gardens as I find them.

• The George Eastman house has an outstanding Autochrome photo of the south-east portion of the gardens, next to the Sugar Pine House.
