| The trees and shrubs provide a framework for the garden. They give the garden "walls" and a "roof" in addition to providing spring, summer and fall color. The Procter Garden is dedicated to the memory of Beatrice Sterling Procter, a long-time supporter of the Garden. Her favorite flowers were the pinks, blues and purples which form the main color scheme of this garden. White and silver accents are mixed into this palette for their meditative and restful effect. The garden was completed in 1966 through the combined efforts of the Lenox Garden Club, landscape architect E. Gillette Wilcox and the Garden staff. The fountain, added in 1994, was created by the Scottish sculptor, Gerald Laing and donated by Beatrice Procter's daughter Beatrice Frelinghuysen. | ||||
