Garden Inspiration: The Transformative Power of Art and Ornament in the Landscape

At Reems Creek Nursery

Thursday, March 12

4 - 5 PM

With Mardi Dover


Art and ornament have the power to transform a garden from beautiful to unforgettable. In this lecture, Mardi will share examples from some of her favorite public and private gardens across the country, along with pieces she has selected and placed in her own local designs. She will offer both inspiration and practical guidance to help you confidently choose and position ornament in your own garden, bringing depth, personality, and a strong sense of place to your landscape.


Please note this workshop is later than usual - at 4 PM. We're hoping working folks will be better able to attend during this timeframe!


Free, but you must pre-register.


*If your plans change, please cancel your ticket in Eventbrite so someone else can have your spot.
