Gardens of the Arts & Crafts Movement

Gardens of the Arts & Crafts Movement

Award-winning author, landscape historian, and preservation consultant gave a wonderful Zoom presentation on her latest book, “Gardens of the Arts & Crafts Movement.” 

Audience interaction: Education, it is just as much what you absorb as what you apply. In that vein, what did you learn from Judith Tankard’s presentation about Arts and Crafts Gardens? What concepts would you apply to your own garden? Fantasies accepted. We would love your feedback about the program and how it may influence your future garden design. Please email the Garden Center your input at gpgardencenter@outlook.com. Reference books: Click here for a list of Judith Tankard’s reference books on Arts and Crafts Gardens.
