Frederick Law Olmsted: The Visionary Landscape Architect (1822-1903). Known as the "Taj Mahal of America," Olmsted's masterpiece, The Singing Tower in Florida's Bok Tower Gardens, captivated visitors in the 1930s with its iconic carillon and lush gardens. In the late 1800s, Olmsted's design for Central Park in New York City transformed urban life, creating a tranquil oasis in the heart of the city. His work extended north to Montreal's Mount Royal Park, where the stunning views from the mountain's summit remain a favorite among locals and tourists alike. In Boston's Arnold Arboretum, Olmsted's design showcases the beauty of Massachusetts' natural landscape, with the white lilac tree a beloved springtime symbol. At Iroquois Park in Louisville, Kentucky, Olmsted's amphitheater continues to host performances, while his design for Prospect Park in Brooklyn offers breathtaking views looking north. Olmsted's legacy as a pioneering landscape architect endures, shaping the way we connect with nature in our cities and communities.
