The Making of Three Gardens

New York School of Interior Design

Thu, Dec 13, 2018
6:00 PM

According to landscape gardener and Garden Conservancy board member Jorge Sánchez, "most of us tend to look at garden books for their pictures, but gardens do not just happen; they are creations." 

In his book, The Making of Three Gardens (Merrell Publishers, October 2017), Sánchez examines three of his recent private garden projects – two in Florida and one in Scarsdale, New York. Practical information about the design approach and details of the plantings are combined with an account by Sánchez of the process behind each garden, his relationship with the client, and the reasons for his decisions.

This talk, illustrated with specially commissioned book photographs by Andre Baranowski, will focus on these gardens and the process that fueled their design and creation.
