Somehow we know we are going to regret this posting, because all you dog lovers out there are going to want this ribbon next year and we have absolutely no way to guarantee it will be available. We did have it this year, however, and the decorator made a quick trip to the convenience store for some Milk Bone dog biscuits, which she sprayed gold, as an extra enhancement to this wreath. To say it was a season favorite is an understatement.
The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum will present a Landscape Lecture on Thursday, March 14 at 7 pm in Calderwood Hall. The lecture is currently sold out but to put your name on a wait list call 617-278-5156, Wednesday through Monday, 11 – 4:30.
The evening begins with a screening of Five Seasons: The Gardens of Piet Oudolf, followed by Piet Oudolf and Thomas Piper in conversation with Charles Waldheim.
Piet Oudolf is an internationally recognized Dutch garden designer, plantsman, and author. Oudolf is a leading figure of the “New Perennial” movement. He practices a naturalistic approach to gardening using bold drifts of perennials and grasses chosen at least as much for their structure as for their color.
Thomas Piper is an award-winning non-fiction filmmaker, focusing on design and contemporary art. Five Seasons won the Polly Krakora Award for Artistry in Film at the 2018 DC Environmental Film Festival. In 2008, his film Ellsworth Kelly: Fragments won best Film for Television at the International Festival of Films on Art in Montreal.
Patrons are invited to a private reception with Piet Oudolf following the screening.
