PepsiCo, Rose Garden and Lilac Alley Sketch Plan RP/1/14/22/9

A pencil design on tracing paper dated September 1984 marked, 'Preliminary sketch plan for a rose garden and lilac alley south of new work yard, scale 1/8 inch = 1 foot'. The plan shows the layout of the beds, hedges and paths in the rose garden, and the twin rows of lilac trees in the area between the rose garden and the work yard.

This large-scale project at the world headquarters of PepsiCo Inc. was Page’s last major undertaking. From 1980 until his death in 1985, he made frequent visits to the site in Westchester County, 25 miles north of New York City, working largely on designs to harmonise the company’s substantial collection of outdoor sculptures with the landscaped parkland.
