However, it would be preposterous to reduce her existence down to the mistakes that she made. Along with her temper, her zest for life was unmatched. She was the anti-thesis of the traditional Victorian woman, unafraid to speak her mind and to dance in the fire of judgement. She was powerful because she knew how to bend and wield others to her desires using not only her beauty, but also her charm. Unloved as a child, she knew how to put on a show to get the love and attention that she wanted.

Clark Botanical Garden is an oasis tucked away in Long Island. It's easy to miss, but once you're there you'll wished you had visited sooner. The property was owned by the Clark family, prominently the wife and husband duo Fanny Dwight Clark and Grenville Clark, during the early 1920s. Mrs. Clark contributed to the essence of the gardens, acting as landscape designer and horticulturalist. What we see today at the garden is largely her undertaking. In 1966, Mr. Clark had given up some acreage to the Brooklyn Botanical Garden in memory of his wife in which the property was to be used as a sanctuary. It wouldn't be until 1989, however, that the garden would be turned over to the Town of North Hempstead where its possession still lies. The garden serves the public as a park and as an educational center.  Upon entering the garden you are met with this elaborate floral bordered walkway. Colors splash everywhere, like paint splattered across a canvas. During my visit, the borders were lined with bright pops of pink, orange, and red.
