Saturday, March 14, 1 pm – Joe Eck and Wayne Winterrowd: Our Life in Gardens

Join renowned garden designers Joe Eck and Wayne Winterrowd for an entertaining, fascinating, and highly personal account of over 30 years of experience in the making of North Hill, which garden historian Mac Griswold has called one of the ten best private gardens in North America.  This lecture is both a biography of a mature garden and the autobiography of a relationship, but it also includes valuable information on garden design and on the cultivation of rare and unusual plants. The lecture will be followed by a book signing of their third and unexpectedly moving latest book written together, Our Life in Gardens, which contains much sound information about plants and garden design.  There are sections about particular plants – roses and lilacs, snowdrops and cyclamen, and vegetables.  There are also chapters on the development of their garden over time and the dark issue that weighs more and more on the authors: its eventual decline and demise.  Tower Hill Members $9, Non-Members $10.  Register at www.towerhillbg.org.
