2017 The Corliss Knapp Engle Scholarship in Horticulture
Jennifer Lauer is a master’s student in landscape architecture in the College of Environmental Science and Forestry at the State University of New York in Syracuse. Her research focuses on the cultural landscape of Rose Hill Farm in Geneva, New York. The site is notable for the development of field-drainage technology, which became a driving force in the economic transition from subsistence to merchant farming in mid-19th-century America. The Geneva Historical Society manages 27 acres of the original 350-acre property, including a Greek Revival mansion built in 1839, which is considered among the finest examples of its style in the nation. She will provide a cultural landscape report to help restore and preserve the site’s important horticultural heritage
