Wednesday, June 29, 11:00 am – 12:00 noon – Designing for the Intangible, Online
Though we often see them as utilitarian extensions of our homes, gardens are much more than ornament or recreation. We think of ourselves as the users, the givers of meaning, the protagonists, but a garden too can be the protagonist. It can act on us, change us, and cause us to think about our experience and existence. Using gorgeous images from his newly released book, Federal Twist, featuring his New Jersey home garden, James Golden shares how to design for a garden’s intangible aspects, its atmosphere, mood, ecology, and character of place. James Golden‘s book has been profiled in publications such as Gardens Illustrated, The New York Times, Rainer and West’s Planting in a Post-Wild World, Claire Takacs’s Dreamscapes, and Christopher Wood’s Gardenlust. A self-taught gardener, Golden has a Master’s Degree in modern poetry and worked as a writer for most of his career.This New York Botanical Garden webinar will take place June 29 at 11 am Eastern, online, and is $25 for NYBG members, $29 for nonmembers.
