2022 marked the 200th anniversary of the birth of Frederick Law Olmsted, social reformer and founder of American landscape architecture. Frederick Law Olmsted, commonly referred to as the 'Father of American Landscape Architecture', is perhaps best  known for the design and creation of Central Park in New York and the U.S. Capitol grounds in Washington, D.C.
