Friday, August 5, 12:00 noon – 1:00 pm – Ask the Expert: Backyard Gardening, Online
How do you transform a backyard from a blank plot of land into a lush paradise to enjoy? Whether it’s a vast field or a cozy corner, any yard can be a place to connect with nature around you. At GBH’s next Ask the Expert: Backyard Gardening event, public garden expert Karen Daubmann is prepared to help you transform your space into something ethereal. Bring your questions, and before you know it, you will have your own wildlife getaway!
Daubmann has committed to create effective and longstanding change in public gardens throughout her 25-year career. She joined Massachusetts Horticultural Society (MHS) in March 2022, where she brings her experience in advancing the operational and planning scale of public gardens. In the development and execution of exhibitions that have welcomed hundreds of thousands of visitors, Daubmann focuses her work on encouraging guests to connect and interact with gardens through art, nature and culture. Prior to joining MHS, she worked for 14 years at the New York Botanical Garden, culminating in her position as vice president for exhibitions and audience engagement. She has been featured in Jennifer Jewell’s The Earth in Her Hands: 75 Extraordinary Women Working in the World of Plants and has contributed essays for Kusama: Cosmic Nature, 2021 and Frida Kahlo’s Garden, 2015.
