LA CLARIDAD Image by Brantley Reflections on Wildly Exquisite: Florida’s Native Plants By Susan Lerner, Director of Horticulture

Wildly Exquisite: Florida’s Native Plants celebrates the rich diversity of Florida’s indigenous plants. The Foundation is delighted to partner with the American Society of Botanical Artists for this exhibition. This perfect pairing of new botanical art with the Preservation Foundation’s mission to celebrate the botanical heritage of Palm Beach is reflective of the early documentation of the flora and fauna in the New World and the delight of discovery.

It would be a mistake, however, to think that this exhibition is exclusively about lovely artworks of interesting flora. Like Pan’s Garden, the first all-native botanical garden in Florida, it aims to raise awareness of the beauty and function of native plants in Florida landscapes, and to encourage home gardeners, landscape architects, city planners and others to realize the impact that plant choices have in our world.

The well-known eighteenth-century explorers John Bartram (botanist), his son William Bartram (naturalist, botanist, artist, and explorer) and Mark Catesby (naturalist and artist) were followed to Florida in the nineteenth century by John James Audubon (ornithologist, naturalist, and painter). Each of these trailblazers documented their exciting Florida discoveries with words and/or paintings that became significant natural history resources in their day and remain so in ours. These and other naturalists chronicled a Florida comprised of vibrant landscapes unlike any other. To William Bartram, the “spring-fed streams, sandy banks, and ancient trees formed a natural paradise”. Botanical Interpretation of the Prickly Pear Cactus by Robin Jess.

But the Florida they detailed has almost disappeared. In their time, for instance, longleaf pine communities Prickly Pear Cactus blooming in Pan’s Garden. covered an estimated seventy to ninety million acres in the Southeastern United States. By the late 1990s only three million acres remained, with more than thirty threatened and endangered species calling the dwindling Change is not easy, and resistance to new landscape and environmental concepts is not unexpected.

Archivist Marie Penny helped unearth rarely Palm Beach architect Marion Sims Wyeth was one of the architects who defined the Palm Beach style. The first book viewed documents to enrich the book, such as Wyeth’s early watercolors from a trip to Italy and documentary about him and his work are scheduled to be released in fall 2021. and construction photographs of Shangri La. Day, who spent 21 years as consultant to the town of Palm Beach’s Landmarks Preservation Commission, has written extensively about the town’s landmarked properties. She considers herself a “public historian,” who eschews the ivory tower and “wants to present the facts to the public,” she said.

With more than 700 projects executed during Wyeth’s 54-year career to choose from, she focused on the ones with the best back stories. Wyeth’s father and grandfather were prominent physicians, whose connections helped him land the first major commission of his career, Good Samaritan Hospital in West Palm Beach. The gentlemanly architect fit in well with Palm Beach society. He’s the only one of the “Big Five” architects to graduate from the prestigious Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris.

His colleagues benefited from his expertise. When Wyeth chafed at collaborating with Urban, who Post hired without informing him to work on Mar-a-Lago, her then-husband Hutton begged him to stay on. “You’ve got to come back on this job, because Joe Urban may be an artist but he’s not a practical man,” Hutton said. “He doesn’t know much about plumbing or heating or electricity or any of the basic things that go into a house.” Wyeth eventually quit anyway.

4 | SPRING 2021 Preserve Palm Beach | 5 2021 Virtual Dinner Dance By Jan Sjostrom

“People will go to any party Pauline throws.” That’s what Preservation Foundation of Palm Beach trustee Dan Ponton said during a tribute to Pauline Pitt, who stepped down in November after five years as chairman. That’s because Pitt knows how to make a Foundation party of 400 to 500 people not only an elegant affair but also “feel like a small dinner at home,” he said. This year’s March 5 dinner dance really was an intimate occasion because the COVID-19 pandemic prohibited large gatherings. Gourmet dinners and gift bags were delivered to guests’ homes, where some hosted small parties.

The evening’s centerpiece was a pre-recorded program that - while it wasn’t face to face - might have been the next best thing. Highlights included the tribute to Pitt, a segment in which trustees talked about what makes Palm Beach special and a peek at the Foundation’s latest project, a master plan to redevelop the town’s Phipps Ocean Park to showcase the Little Red Schoolhouse education center and native plants.

Pitt was reluctant to accept the chairmanship when it was offered, but under her leadership the Foundation was transformed, trustees said. “She looked at the whole organization,” Michele Kessler said during the tribute. “She really turned things inside out.” Among the achievements during Pitt’s watch: professionalizing the staff, expanding membership and attracting younger people and new residents, enlarging the mission to embrace the natural as well as the built environment, establishing forward-looking programs such as the water-rising series, the rehabilitation of Pan’s Garden, the revitalization of Bradley Park and underwriting a master plan to reinvent Phipps Ocean Park. One

reason for Pitt’s success was her deep roots in Palm Beach. When trustees shared what makes Palm Beach special to them she explained how Via Tortuga got its name. It once led to the home of a Galapagos tortoise brought to Palm Beach during the 1930s. One of her favorite childhood memories was walking from Casa Amado, the home Addison Mizner designed for her grandfather Charles Munn, to where the tortoise lived to feed it grapefruits. Just about everyone mentioned the wide variety of interesting people they meet in Palm Beach. Also high on trustees’ lists was the diverse character of Palm Beach’s architecture. Some aspects that set the town apart take some getting used to. Hilary Geary Ross referred to “the Palm Beach pause,” an all too familiar conversation stopper caused by the town’s location on a heavily used jet flight path.

The program wrapped up with an episode of Landmarks Discovered, the latest in a series available on the Foundation’s website. Viewers learned how a plan to spruce up the grounds surrounding the Little Red Schoolhouse for its 30th anniversary under the Foundation’s stewardship evolved into a master plan to reimagine the under-used, 18-acre oceanfront park. As Executive Director Amanda Skier and Programming Director Katie Jacob explained, the 1886 schoolhouse was the first constructed in Dade County, which then encompassed Palm Beach, Broward and Dade counties. Residents pooled their resources and skills to build the simple wood structure.

Today the schoolhouse offers free living history programs to Palm Beach County fourth-graders. As part of the plan designed by landscape architect Raymond Jungles the schoolhouse will be relocated to a more prominent location in the park visible from State Road A1A. The park will be filled entirely with native plants, reinforcing the Foundation’s goal of demonstrating how sustainable landscaping can not only be good for the planet but also refreshingly beautiful. Jungles described a park laced with trails where visitors can enjoy shade, bird song and breezes as well as the beach. The redesign also will allow the Foundation to add programs

Garden Tours

Join us for a tour of the Preservation Foundation’s half-acre Pan’s Garden, guided by the Foundation’s Director of Horticulture, Susan Lerner. As the first all-native botanical garden in Florida, Pan’s Garden is home to more than 250 species of native plants.

In this overview tour, we will visit all areas of the garden, answering questions as we go. Native trees, shrubs, grasses and wild flowers, many of which are endangered, are incorporated into upland and wetland areas designed to display their naturally occurring relationships to one another.

The tour will last approximately an hour and is capped at 15 participants. Upcoming tours will be held on May 3rd and June 7th. Tours will resume in October on the first Monday of each month during season.
