Wreath of the Day – On Beacon Hill

by

We love to link wreaths, decorators, and doors together, and we are able to right here. Star decorator and gardener Susan Juretschke, a long time member of our Tree Committee and Horticulturist, created a substantial front door wreath for a member living on Beacon Hill. The color of the red door is quite sophisticated and a plain red bow would have been jarring, but this wide ribbon with gold and green cut the red just enough to blend beautifully. All natural decorations with the exception of some red glass balls for accents completed the design.

Tuesday, January 17, 1:00 pm – Holistic Design Thinking, Online

Maine-based landscape architect David Maynes creates spaces that encourage people to actively engage with the ecological processes that unfold around them. For him, a client’s perception of the landscape is just as important as a plant palette; a landscape’s edges and transitions create opportunities; and a site’s details are the bridge that foster connection between people and landscapes. Join the New York Botanical Garden and Maynes on January 17 for a wide-ranging discussion about the natural materials he uses in his design work. David Maynes, PLA, has more than 20 years of experience designing, planning, and building landscapes in New England and Maritime Canada. Currently, davidmaynesSTUDIO focuses on private residential design, farm and landscape systems design, rural park development, ecosystem restoration, and long-term landscape planning. He holds a BS in Environmental Horticulture & Design from the University of Maine, Orono and an MLA from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst.
