In this 1 hour illustrated talk at The Latchis Theatre in Brattleboro, Vermont, I share my ideas about how to design a garden room – that is, a comforting and somewhat enclosed place within your existing larger garden. These past two years have taught us all the power of a garden room to provide a place outdoors for respite and calm. A garden room is a welcoming and embracing outdoor place, a place to be with friends and family or alone. It is a living place to tend, a place with chairs or benches and “windows” – that is, views framed by flowering and evergreen shrubs and perennials, views that look out into other parts of your garden. Flowering shrubs and perennials provide fragrance, color, vitality; perhaps overhanging branches act as a ceiling, stones or brick a floor. Birds add their own magic. Join me as I share pictures of several garden rooms Mary and I have created over the last 40 years in our garden as well as those of some of my clients across the country. It’s a talk that is “how-to” as well as inspiration.
