Garden and Landscape Studies
The Garden and Landscape Studies program was established in 1972 to support advanced scholarship in garden history and landscape architecture, encompassing the study of culturally and artistically significant landscapes around the world from ancient times to the present. The program seeks to deepen the understanding of landscape and gardens as a field of knowledge and research and as a practice carried out by landscape architects, landscape artists, and gardeners. The program provides support for research and organizes public programs and scholarly events, publications, and art installations.
Fellowships and Awards
Support comes in many forms through a variety of our programs, tailored to fit the individual needs of senior scholars, midcareer researchers, dissertation writers, graduate students, and advanced undergraduates.
Fellowships
Several fellowship opportunities are available to Garden and Landscape scholars, including Research Fellowships, Plant Humanities Fellowships, Mellon Fellowships in Urban Landscape Studies, and Mellon History Teaching Fellowships in Landscape Studies.
Short-Term Opportunities
Several opportunities are available to students and scholars at all levels, ranging from symposia travel awards, 2–4 week predoctoral residencies, one-month research awards, summer fellowships and teaching fellowships in Urban Landscape Studies, and summer workshops in Garden and Landscape Studies and Plant Humanities.
Project Grants
Garden and Landscape grants are intended to support primary research of a specific site. Project grants may be used for a broad array of projects including field research, site analysis, botanical surveys, heritage conservation and restoration planning, with the goal of promoting the preservation and understanding of historic gardens and other significant designed landscapes.
