In March 2024, award-winning British landscape architect and garden designer Alistair W. Baldwin traveled to New Harmony, Indiana, to complete a study visit of the town's gardens and landscapes. While Mr. Baldwin was here, he talked with people and organizations in New Harmony who are invested in creating spaces that are beautiful, functional and add to the well-being of the community. From these conversations and his observations, Mr. Baldwin created conceptual drawings of New Harmony landscapes "reimagined" for the future.
From May 7-June 9, 2024, Historic New Harmony hosted a free exhibit, A Landscape Reimagined: New Harmony, Indiana, that shared Mr. Baldwin's drawings and seeking public comment. A Landscape Reimagined featured his recommendations for town-wide planning and thinking as well as plans for new gardens outside the Poet's House, Mother Superior Guest House, Gate House, David Lenz House, Beal House, Maclure Square and Church Park.
