Lowthorpe School of Landscape Architecture

[1] Low had spent time in her youth at the Bussey Institute at Arnold Arboretum, studying agriculture, gardening, and botany.

[1] To be admitted, a prospective student was required to have a high school diploma and some knowledge of both drawing and botany.

[1] Instruction focused on private residential design rather than public gardens, as such work was at the time considered most suitable for women.

Under John Parker, Lowthorpe's director from 1934 to 1945, winter classes were taught in Boston at 491 Boylston Street.

[5][6] Country Day School closed in June, 2017,[5] and the neighboring Lawrence Academy acquired the property in April, 2018.
