Tonight's speaker encourages us to go beyond endeavoring to make our gardens look beautiful to additionally making our garden spaces distinctly our own.
In this inspirational program, Patterson Webster will share the story of how she transformed an attractive but conventional garden into one that uses history, art and horticulture to tell a unique story.
Leveraging photographs spanning twenty-five years, we will virtually tour Glen Villa, a 750-acre property in the Eastern Townships of Quebec. During our tour, we’ll visit special garden areas and art installations, and explore ideas that may help us to tell our own distinct garden stories.
Patterson Webster is a passionate garden designer, writer and installation artist who creates personalized landscapes that respond to the history of a site and the people who lived on it.
