Lillabeth Wies, Biography
After earning a Master’s Degree in Horticulture from the Pennsylvania State University based on research in organic vegetable intercropping at the Rodale Organic Research Institute, Lillabeth began work in 1980 as the Superintendent for several notable old estates on Long Islands Gold Coast, and more recently here in Massachusetts at the Sedgwick Gardens. Experience using organic techniques at these superb mature gardens, travel, and further study at Radcliff School of Landscape Design and Design History, have enriched her understanding of plants, garden health and vigor, and creative space use.
