Trowels and Tomorrow with Tovah Martin

The beauty
of gardens is that they mature. Join Tovah Martin in this lecture about
horticultural preservation, stewardship, and how
gardeners grapple with change. We address the
challenges of bringing landscapes into the next
generation. Whether you have inherited a landscape or
created a garden over decades and now face mature trees and
shrubs that require preemptive pruning or relocation, we explore
issues and answers. We look at woodland gardens and
grand estates, we explore gardens great and small. We
tackle such sticky wickets as rehabilitating overgrown
boxwood hedges and coping with plants that were once
considered exotics but have now been unmasked as
invasives. This is a lecture about bringing yesterday’s
gardens into tomorrow. But we also talk about plant preservation
and heirloom varieties, honoring the people who have
worked to preserve vintage ornamentals so those plants
with a past can become the superstars of future
gardens.

Ms. Martin will have copies of her most recent books available for purchase and signing.
