21st Century Gardens .. at the Marin Art and Garden Center


21st Century Gardens: Movements, Trends, Projects 
A Presentation on Landscape as Art.

This Thursday I'll be presenting a talk to the Garden Society of Marin.

My musings on landscape at art will braid together gardens designed by Ossart & Maurieres,
land artist Alain Idoux, 
and tree sculptor - work pictured above - Marc Nucera: the subject of a recent book.


My talk takes place at 7:30 p.m. at the Marin Art & Garden Center 
Arrive early and you can stroll through the lovely gardens on this historic property.

gives rise to compelling design elements that are highlighted in the presentation,
along with major private gardens in Provence created in the new millennium.

  6. How clever the members of the Marin Garden Society are for having you speak. Of course we all know how inspiring a talk from you would be from visiting your blog over the last year. I only wish I could be there. Not that you need it but best of luck with your presentation. It sounds very interesting Alice.

  13. I do wish ALL my blogosphere & cyber-friends could get together for this one. What a blast that would be, not to mention the extent to which we could DISCUSS...uh, banter about! the concepts and designs on view.

    Thanks for your moral support!
