The Peggy Rockefeller Rose Garden in the New York Botanical Garden. The garden layout, including the design for a central iron-lattice gazebo and surrounding fence, was created by Beatrix Farrand in 1916. Due to iron shortages during World War I, construction of the gazebo and the fence was not completed, and the whole design was later forgotten. In the mid-1980s, NYBG Board member Beth Strauss rediscovered Farrand's original plans. David Rockefeller donated $1 million for the completion of Farrand's design, and the garden, including the gazebo and the fence, was finally realized in 1988. It was named the "Peggy Rockefeller Rose Garden" after David's wife, Margaret "Peggy" McGrath Rockefeller, who was a conservationist and NYBG Board member.
