“Bamboo Brook Outdoor Education Center, located on 687 acres, was once known as Merchiston Farm and was the home of William and Martha Brookes Hutcheson from 1911 to 1959. Bamboo Brook’s original 100 acres was donated by the daughter of Mrs. Hutcheson. Ms. Hutcheson one of America’s first women landscape architects attended Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s School of Architecture and Planning, along with other famous women garden designers of that time, including Marion Coffin and Beatrix Farrand. …”
Thanks for the lovely visit To Bamboo Brook. Impressed with the artistic design that the Variable Dancer (bug) has! I too wondered about the curiously shaped sack which I believe I’ve seen elsewhere. It must have some special function…?
The word that comes to mind is ‘lush’ — a very different lushness than that generally associated with tropical gardens, but lush nonetheless. The building in the fifth photo’s an interesting shape. Do you happen to know if it was built that way for a specific purpose, or did they just run out of lumber?
I love this. Reminds me of the article I wrote about bamboo. So cool!

Thanks BB. Can’t find out about the shed. There was no one there to ask and an online search yields no results.

Very funny. I didn’t get to ask anyone why it is that shape.
