A brand new historical poster exhibit, entitled “Pictorial History of Clark Gardens, and its founder, Fanny Clark” is currently on display at Clark Botanic Gardens.
The gallery, located inside of the Clark House, features six posters that tell the complete history of how Fanny Dwight Clark shaped what we now know as Clark Botanic Garden.
According to one of the posters, the history began in the early 1920s when Clark started to import “boxcars of topsoil and laid out the lawns and plantations of trees and shrubs, white pines and flowering cherries.”
The exhibit was created courtesy of Marie Ramos and Jeanette DelPonte of the Clark Garden Auxiliary.
Clark Botanic Garden features 12 acres of labeled gardens, trees, ponds and streams. It is open daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. until April, and until 6 p.m. beginning in May. The garden is located at 193 I.U. Willets Road in Albertson.
