SUMMARY:Life with Flowers\, Francis Palmer
DESCRIPTION:Join Frances Palmer as she brings a fresh\, inspiring perspective to the garden\, guiding us through six distinct growing periods—from the quiet magic of prevernal\, when snowdrops and hellebores first break through winter’s chill\, to the lush abundance of summer\, the rich color of fall with dahlias and Japanese anemones\, and finally to hibernal\, when we retreat indoors and savor the beauty of forced bulbs and greenhouse blooms. This engaging talk is filled with practical tips\, creative DIY projects\, and favorite floral recipes\, all woven together with reflections on patience\, resilience\, and the delightful unpredictability of nature. Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or simply love being surrounded by beauty\, Frances will leave you energized\, inspired\, and ready to see your garden—and the seasons—in a whole new way. With nearly four decades of celebrated work in ceramics\, Frances brings a unique dual lens to her craft—shaping vessels in the studio that elevate her garden’s blooms\, while cultivating extraordinary flowers outdoors that\, in turn\, inspire her art. This seamless dialogue between garden and studio is at the heart of her creative life—and it’s what makes this talk so special. Elm Street Books will be selling Life with Flowers. \nMembers see New Canaan Beautification League email for early registration information.

SUMMARY:Designing Women\, Marta McDowell
DESCRIPTION:Learn design techniques from the Golden Age of American Gardens. Stretching across the turn of the twentieth century\, designers such as Marion Coffin\, Martha Brookes Hutcheson\, and Ellen Shipman transformed the wealth of the Industrial Revolution into beautiful landscapes for estates across the country. This lecture highlights the design principles these women employed\, principles that work for gardens of any size. \nMarta McDowell teaches landscape history and horticulture at the New York Botanical Garden and is a popular lecturer and writer. Her latest book is Gardening Can Be Murder\, about the horticultural connections to crime fiction. Timber Press also published Unearthing The Secret Garden\, Emily Dickinson’s Gardening Life\, The World of Laura Ingalls Wilder\, New York Times-bestselling All the Presidents’ Gardens\, and Beatrix Potter’s Gardening Life\, now in its ninth printing. She was the 2019 recipient of the Garden Club of America’s Sarah Chapman Francis Medal for outstanding literary achievement. \nThis is a joint program with New Canaan Garden Club.
