24 hrs in May: wake up at dawn to mist cuttings & drive to plant sale... sell plants to artists, Martha Stewart, garden lovers who come out in the rain and cold weather....eat a dinner of wendy's cheese fries...approve samples from an ongoing, deeply enriching collab with Dickies... pass out in Vince's studio and dream about this painting & the days before you could share people's little worlds on tiny screens....
Just one of the many gardeners indebted to Amy Sanderson (@amysandersonflowers) for spearheading a gathering of some of the world's brightest, most forward thinking plantspeople and garden people in honor of Beth Chatto's 95th birthday and 40th anniversary of her first book, the Dry Garden. Extremely honored as an American, woman, and gardener to moderate a number of timely discussions with a distinguised, diverse group (e.g. not all white male!!) including, James Hitchmough, Midori Shintani, Dan Pearson, Marina Christopher, Peter Korn, Cassian Schmidt, (et al.). We are going deep and wide, posing questions about ecological gardening (wtf does it mean now?), immersive design (how do we characterize ecological spaces through experience and form?), the use of wild plants & plant community design (how is garden worthiness determined? What is aesthetically rich about such points of departure?), and more. There's also a garden party if you want to dish with the speakers ... There are already folks from over a dozen countries attending, but early bird (CHEAPER) tickets are for sale only until May 31st ...if you can't make it (I get it, someone has to water), please comment/DM any questions you want me to ask ...link in profile.

Featuring a poem by Emma, essay by plantsman, @plinthetal, ikebana inspired by the Celtics by @gco_burn, and a numbered print from our polymath muse, Phil. DM with address....
Strive to be the kind of nurserywoman & gardener who champions subversive weeds. (Pink Dandelion (Taraxacum pseudoroseum))... issima plant list in link in profile for the curious.
