John Beaudry on Designing Bungalow Gardens

The San Diego Floral Association is proud to welcome a native of Chicago, John Beaudry, as its speaker at the October Meeting/Program. Members and the public are invited to attend this afternoon gathering on October 12 at 2:00 p.m. in Room 101 of Casa del Prado in Balboa Park. Admission is free.

John Beaudry will discuss "Designing the Bungalow Garden: How to Create Gardens and Lives Rooted in Spirit," a lecture based on his upcoming book of the same title. He will begin with a brief history of the Arts and Crafts movement and its quest for the spirit of life, and then explore how to nurture that spirit in our own lives.

Whether you own a bungalow or any style home, learn how to apply the principles of Arts and Crafts garden style to create your own garden sanctuary. Beaudry will show you how to craft your yard into a place to spend time with family and friends, to entertain, and to live a life in relationship with the natural world.

With a degree in ornamental horticulture from the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana in 1982, Beaudry went on to manage his own design firm for more than 30 years. He also has worked with the Chicago Department of Environment where he helped people in recovery create community gardens and managed Brownfield Redevelopment Projects. In addition, he managed the rooftop garden on Chicago’s City Hall and the mayor’s Landscape Awards Program, and went on to serve as senior horticulturist at the Chicago Botanic Garden.
