"Gardens are so perishable"
Abstract
This thesis proposes a preservation strategy for the former property of Elizabeth
Lawrence. Lawrence was the first woman to receive a landscape architecture degree in North
Carolina. The author of numerous books, articles, and newspaper columns, she designed and
maintained the house and garden at 348 Ridgewood Avenue, Charlotte, North Carolina. This
thesis examines the history of historic landscape preservation practice and philosophy. This
thesis also provides an inventory of existing conditions and presents a maintenance plan for the
property.
