“Some people think of the landscape as something out there,
unrelated to what happens inside them… this is blindness.”
– James Rose
The James Rose Center is a non-profit landscape research and study foundation headquartered in Ridgewood, New Jersey. Formerly the home of landscape architect James Rose, it was built in 1953 for himself and family members.
We are closed for the 2023 Season!
