Federal courts around the country, including in New York, Colorado, Texas and Pennsylvania, have since
It’s a shift in emphasis that’s gaining traction in many historic gardens.The new focus on sustainability was also evident when the arboretum recently replaced its storied half-mile-long double allée of European beech trees
, which have historically been mowed regularly, are now cut back just once or twice a year to allow a natural habitat to thrive.A new book, “Planting Fields: A Place on Long Island,” offers fresh perspective into the now-public arboretum. Full of color photography, both vintage and current (by David Almeida); sketches and plans by the famed Olmsted Brothers, who designed the landscape; and essays by architect Witold Rybczynski, landscape historian John Dixon Hunt and others, it’s an homage to the home and property.At Planting Fields, the rolling lawns, gardens and woodland paths still command attention, anchored by Coe Hall, a sprawling Tudor Revival mansion.
The estate started taking shape in 1913, when English immigrant William Robertson Coe, chairman of the marine insurance company Johnson and Higgins, and his wife, Mai Rogers Coe, an heiress to the Standard Oil fortune, bought the land, which had once been a working farm. The couple used it as a country retreat.Coe Hall was something of a 20th-century fantasy, deliberately built to look centuries old.

Los bomberos estaban tan ocupados extinguiendo incendios de contenedores de basura en medio de las celebraciones y atendiendo otras emergencias que la línea de emergencia de bomberos estaba saturada.
Para las 2 de la mañana del domingo se habían realizado un total de 294 arrestos, incluidas 30 personas que irrumpieron en una tienda de zapatos en los Campos Elíseos. Dos coches fueron incendiados cerca del Parque de los Príncipes, agregó la policía.En la plaza de la Bastilla, hubo escenas de júbilo en las que los aficionados subieron a la base de la famosa columna, cantando, bailando y lanzando bengalas, mientras los que estaban alrededor se unían.
En un momento dado, varias motocicletas aceleraron ruidosamente sus motores y la multitud vitoreó mientras daban vueltas alrededor de la columna. No había policías cerca y, para la 1 de la madrugada, el ambiente era animado sin tensiones y con muchos cánticos.Nunez culpó de los problemas dispersos a “miles de personas que vinieron a cometer actos de violencia” en lugar de ver el partido. Señaló disturbios similares al margen de celebraciones anteriores en la capital, como después de la victoria de Francia en el Mundial masculino de fútbol en 2018.
