Elizabeth Lord and Edith Schryver met as young women and in 1929 established their highly successful firm in Salem; their work is acknowledged as one of the milestones in the history of garden design in the Northwest and beyond. Theirs is the only Oregon firm recognized in Pioneers of Landscape Architecture  compiled by the National Park Service. The Cultural Landscape Foundation describes them as consummate professionals in the broadest sense  as they worked to raise the profile of landscape architects by involving an audience beyond their clients. Their work represented a transition from a formal symmetrical style of garden design to one which responded in a distinctive way to the unique features of Northwest climate  soil  topography  and plant material.  Gaiety Hollow  their purpose-built Salem home  garden  and studio  is now owned by the Lord \u0026amp; Schryver Conservancy and is open to the public. The conservancy has lovingly restored the gardens at Gaiety Hollow according to Lord \u0026amp; Schryvers original plans. They have also restored and now maintain the gardens at Deepwood  a former residence that is now a public park.  Students of landscape architecture  garden design  Pacific Northwest history  ornamental horticulture  and general readers who are interested in the contributions of women to once male-dominated professions will find inspiration in these pages.
