Please join the Garden Conservancy and Monacelli Press for an exclusive presentation, book signing, and reception celebrating the launch of Charles J. Stick and his Gardens.
Charles J. Stick and his Gardens is a fascinating biographical monograph of Charles J. Stick, renowned Virginia-based landscape architect celebrated for his historically and culturally based gardens filled with luxuriant blooms. This new book is the first to explore and bring together four major estates by Stick—Crab Tree Farm on the North Shore of Chicago, Illinois; Mount Sharon near Charlottesville, Virginia; Waverley, in Somerset, Virginia; and of course Sleepy Cat Farm in Greenwich, Connecticut—offering new insights into the design process and the intimacy of his client relationships.
Sleepy Cat Farm in Greenwich, Connecticut is a spectacular garden—a thirteen-acre multi-faceted experience including a stroll garden through a woodland with its own grotto, a meadow with a sacred grove, a wetland with an elevated spirit walk through an iris garden, and several formal garden rooms with reflecting pools and koi ponds—and this event offers the special opportunity to hear directly from its visionary creators. Following the conversation will be a celebratory reception where light refreshments and bites will be served.
Purchase a copy of the book as part of your ticket to receive an exclusive Garden Conservancy discount. Additional copies will be available for purchase at full price at the event. $35 for Garden Conservancy members, $40 for nonmembers (talk only), or $75 for members, $80 for nonmembers (talk with book)
