Following her graduation from Harvard, Child founded her firm Child, Hornbeck Associates, Inc. in Boston with her former professor Peter Hornbeck. Three years later, when Hornbeck left the company, she founded Child Associates Inc., Landscape Architecture with Harvard classmate Douglas Reed. The firm's projects included historic preservation work (Stan Hywet Hall, 1984), residential projects (Richmond Garden, 1986–1988), and the South Cove at Battery Park in New York. For this latter project, Child partnered with artist Mary Miss and architect Stan Eckstut to design a 3.5 acre park at the Hudson riverfront that recalled the natural coves of the northeastern landscape. Child's work influenced many other landscape architects, including Anita Berrizbeitia, Chris Moyles, and John Grove.
Child then went on to receive her master's degree in landscape architecture from the Harvard University Graduate School of Design (GSD), graduating in 1981. While at Harvard, Child was mentored by the chair of the Landscape Architecture Department, Peter Walker. An exhibition on the work of landscape architect Dan Kiley, titled “Modern Classicist” at the GSD, also informed Child's design ethos.
In 1975, Child graduated from the Radcliffe Institute with a graduate certificate in landscape and environmental design. There, she was particularly influenced by a course titled “Intellectual History of Garden Art,” taught by Diane McGuire.
From 1975 to 1978, Child served as project manager with the City of Boston mayor's program for Revitalization of Vacant Lots (REVIVAL) and “The Greening of Boston” Neighborhood Improvement Program. She also coordinated several projects for the Parks and Recreation Department while working for the city.
In 1950, Child graduated from Vassar College with a B.A. concentration in Art History and French.
Susan Child (1928–2018) was an American landscape architect. She completed many residential, public, and historic preservation projects in New England.
Born in 1928 and raised in New England, Child had an early interest in art, gardening, and history. Her family would often vacation on a farm located along the estuary of Westport River in Massachusetts, which was built by her father-in-law, Josiah Child. According to the Cultural Landscape Foundation, Susan Child “cites this farm as having the deepest impression on her sensitivity to the built environment.”
