Horticultural Lecture Series: Timelines—Glen Villa’s Quest to Make History Visible through Design
- Virtual
![Perspective resized](/uploads/programs/_sm/267971/perspective-resized.jpg)
Patterson Webster began gardening on her 750-acre landscape as many do, by borrowing from conventional approaches and traditional principles. Once embarked, however, her inquisitive mind and love of exploration inspired her to examine the history and composition of her land. With a fresh perspective, Webster brings the garden to life with a language and voice distinctly its own. Her new book, Autobiography of a Garden, identifies events and risks taken that mark her place within the garden’s complex timeline.
