Teaches at New York Botanical Garden

A powerful leader in healing post-industrial New York City's landscapes, Signe Nielsen and her firm, MNLA, have revitalized Lincoln Center's public plazas, restored St. Paul's historic churchyard, devised the master plan for the South Bronx Greenway, and transformed more than 22 miles of waterfront into places that are restorative for people and natural processes— including the Tribeca section of Hudson River Park and Brooklyn's Fulton Landing.

Arabella Lennox-Boyd has designed landscapes around the world for 40 years—from strikingly modern rooftops in London and Hong Kong to the estates of an English duke, a Belgian queen, and Sting. A recipient of six Chelsea Gold Medals and the prestigious RHS Veitch Memorial Medal, she is a preeminent plantswoman who relishes growing from seed the rare tree and shrub specimens she incorporates as structural elements in her designs. She is internationally known for her herbaceous borders, perfectly suited to their environments and bursting with color, form, and texture-including those on glorious display at Gresgarth Hall, her enchanting home and lifelong design project. Her most recent work includes the graceful landscape surrounding the Serpentine Sackler Gallery in London, designed by Zaha Hadid, as well as private residences in Kiev, Greece, England, and the United States.

A Guggenheim Fellow, an ASLA Fellow, an honorary member of the AIA, and a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, Laurie D. Olin is also an award-winning author who has written widely on the history and theory of architecture and landscape. But perhaps surprisingly—even after receiving the NEA's National Medal of the Arts from President Obama— Olin remains enthusiastic about residential work, and continues to bring harmony and balance to the outdoor spaces of private homes.
