"THE WILD GARDEN"
The Beatrix Farrand Garden Association and the Landscape and Arboretum Program at Bard present Rick Darke, renowned author, photographer and landscape consultant, with an illustrated lecture on the design and stewardship of the livable landscape and featuring his award winning photography from his expanded edition of William Robinson's influential book "The Wild Garden" first published in 1840. The lecture will be followed by a garden party at Bellefield amid hundres of peonies in bloom. Heirloom plants and garden treasures will be on sale at the party. Rick Darke will be signing copies of his celebrated books at the sale.
Beatrix Farrand’s long friendship and correspondence with Robinson greatly influenced her signature style of creating naturalistic surroundings for her formal designs. As BFGA embarks next to restore Farrand’s “Wild Garden” here at Bellefield, there could not be a more timely and relevant subject for discussion, and we are honored to have Rick Darke bring his insight and stunning photographic images to the Annual Bellefield Design Lecture.
Seating is limited, so advance purchase of tickets is required. To purchase tickets, visit http://www.beatrixfarrandgarden.org/
