Insightful Garden-Making with British Garden Designer Dan Pearson February 17, 2011

Wine Reception and talk by famed British Garden Designer, Dan Pearson, whose work is characterized by a bold painterly use of form, texture. and color in plantings and in the creation of distinct site-specific environments informed by an intuitive response to the “sense of place.” His designs are highly aesthetic and fundamentally informed by the belief that it is better to work with nature than to try and impose a design upon it. Garden writer Debra Prinzing writes “Pearson is a horticultural rock star in the U.K., with boyish locks, an engaging personality and dreamy landscapes. He designed five award-winning gardens at the Chelsea Flower Show, writes a regular column for the Observer newspaper of London and appears on BBC television and radio gardening programs.”

This lecture is presented with support from the Garden Conservancy‘s George W. Rowe Education Fund and the 2011 San Francisco Flower & Garden Show.
