"  In the United States, the first third of the 20th century saw the rise of women in the fields of landscape architecture and design, garden photography, and garden writing. A number of these pioneers are the subject of an engaging, multifaceted exhibition that opens on Saturday at the New York Botanical Garden. &amp;quot;Groundbreakers: Great American Gardens and the Women Who Designed Them,&amp;quot; which runs through September 7, focuses on the work of Marian Coffin, an MIT-trained landscape architect who designed the gardens at Winterthur and insisted on the same fees as her male counterparts; Beatrix Farrand, who designed the gardens at Dumbarton Oaks, and who, in 1899, was the only founding female member of the American Society of Landscape Architects; and Ellen Shipman, who helped introduce gardening to the emerging professional class that was moving to new suburbs, and who designed the gardens at Long Vue House in New Orleans. The exhibit includes &amp;quot;Mrs. Rockefeller&amp;#039;s Garden,&amp;quot; in the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory, which beautifully evokes the flower borders, woodland, and moon gate of the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Garden in Seal Harbor, Maine, which Farrand designed in 1926 for the Eyrie, the summer home that Mrs. Rockefeller shared with her husband, John D. Rockefeller, Jr. And &amp;quot;Gardens for a Beautiful America: The Women Who Photographed Them&amp;quot; explores the contributions of the noted landscape photographers Jessie Tarbox Beals, Mattie Edwards Hewitt, and Frances Benjamin Johnston. And if all this isn&amp;#039;t enough, a poetry walk features the work of Edna St. Vincent Millay, a great favorite of American garden lovers. There&amp;#039;s even an app\u2014&amp;quot;The Groundbreakers App,&amp;quot; with videos, archival images, and more, which is available at both Apple&amp;#039;s App Store and the New York Botanical Garden&amp;#039;s web site.
