by

Join landscape designer Andrew Grossman on July 14 at 10 am for a walk through his award-winning garden in Seekonk, Massachusetts, to explore the many ways color, massing, and repetition can be used to define and enhance your own landscape. Noted for its horticultural creativity and sensitive use of color, Andrew’s work has been featured in numerous national magazines. His own one-acre property—sited on the edge of a wildlife sanctuary—includes a blue and white garden, a hot colored garden, and a pastel cottage garden, along with two water features, and a dahlia and rose garden.

For a number of years Andrew hosted In The Garden, a cable television program filmed on his property. Sharing design ideas and horticultural techniques, In The Garden was lauded as one of the best educational series in New England. Andrew is currently working on a book about his garden.
