General

In 1931, sisters Helen Page Wodell and Lois Cottrell founded Wodell & Cottrell Garden Consultants. Their firm designed private gardens in Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey; an institutional garden at Fort Dix in New Jersey; and the landscaping for Halloran General Hospital in New York. When they retired in 1950, they passed the business on to Wodell's daughter, Lois Poinier. She designed private landscapes in New Jersey and lectured about historic gardens. Poinier's daughter, Helen Page Sanders, became a landscape architect in Palo Alto, California.
