I only know the landscape architect, which was Jens Jensen. Love the gardens and his meadow area!!

You have that right! Such beautiful gardens.
I suppose that's the "trick" part of this, because Jensen did the gardens and ____ others designed the house. Does anyone have a guess? Someone one our Facebook page got one of the names right (a famous one).

Albert Kahn and associates did a lot of Ford's work, and also finished up Fairlane.
He also did Henry's mistress's home at Brady and Cherry Hill.
