FOR 17 JUNE...CREATING AUTHENIC GARDENS

Join the San Diego Floral Association as we welcome Claire Sawyers, author of The Authentic Garden: Five Principles for Cultivating a Sense of Place, to speak about creating authentic gardens.

Drawing on her experiences with a vast array of American and foreign gardens, Ms. Saywers will speak about how everyone can create a special garden that is true to their particular time, place and culture.

Instead of borrowing from other nation's gardening traditions-England's, Japan's, etc.-Ms. Sawyers endorses the art of unique garden making. From her, you'll learn how to capture a sense of place, derive beauty from function, use indigenous materials, marry the inside to the outside and involve visitors. Please join us for what promises to be a very special event.

Claire Sawyers has been director of the Scott Arboretum of Swarthmore College since 1990, and brings both U.S. and international perspectives to her work. She received her undergraduate and masters degrees from Purdue University, and trained at the Longwood Graduate Program. Ms. Sawyers worked at the Mount Cuba Center in northern Delaware for seven years before coming to Swarthmore. She has achieved numerous prestigious awards and presently serves as a commissioner for the accreditation program of the American Association of Museums.
