Biographical History |
Martha Brookes Hutcheson, née Brown, was born in New York City in 1871 and spent part of her childhood at her mother's family home in Burlington, VT where she was put in charge of her first garden at age 10. She attended New York School of Applied Design for Women from 1893 to 1895, studying watercolor painting and then attended a three-year landscape program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, one of the few to accept women degree seekers, from 1899 to 1902 although she did not finish that degree program, leaving due to dissatisfaction with the focus of study lack of emphasis on horticulture and social reform. Before leaving the program, Martha gained additional horticultural education studying under Professor Sargent of the Arnold Arboretum. |
