SUMMARY:Designing Fall Containers: Bold Texture and Seasonal Color
DESCRIPTION:With fall approaching\, it’s time to rethink your pots and planters for the season ahead. The transition from summer to autumn brings unique environmental challenges\, and well-composed fall containers require more than simply replacing tired annuals. Designer Beth Crowell will reveal the technical and artistic principles behind professional fall container design\, including container preparation\, soil improvement\, and selecting cold-tolerant plants that thrive as temperatures cool and light levels shift. Through carefully chosen examples\, you’ll see how structure\, plant placement\, texture\, form\, and color work together to create displays with lasting impact. Whether you’re designing new containers or refreshing existing ones\, you’ll leave with practical design strategies\, a list of top-performing fall plants\, and a deeper understanding of how professionals create containers that evolve beautifully throughout the season. \nBeth Crowell is a designer and lifelong\, self-taught gardener. Before turning her focus to flowers and horticulture\, she earned a BFA in Graphic Design and Photography and spent 25 years running a successful graphic design firm with her husband\, Mark Cheung. For the past 15 years\, the couple has operated a design-build business specializing in small-scale landscape and garden design\, garden management\, and distinctive container plantings. Today\, they own Meadow Rue Gardens\, a boutique cut-flower farm in Litchfield\, Connecticut\, where Beth is known for creating exceptional bouquets and floral arrangements. She continues to consult on landscape design and custom container gardens\, bringing a designer’s eye for color\, texture\, and composition to every project. \nHHG Members $30 \nNon-members $40  (includes admission to the garden) \nREGISTRATION\n

SUMMARY:Gardens as Stories: The Met Cloisters Gardens
DESCRIPTION:The gardens of The Met Cloisters serve as a place of profound refreshment\, curiosity\, and wonder. In this lecture\, Carly Still explores the distinct inspiration behind each of the three interior cloister gardens and the unique stories they tell. The presentation will dive into the essential role of herbs in the Middle Ages\, sharing the tantalizing lore and medieval uses of plants that remain treasures in our own herb gardens today. Carly will also highlight the intersection of the museum’s permanent collection and its living collection\, showing how masterworks of art are brought to life through the flora surrounding them. Come be transported into the evocative world of The Cloisters. \nCarly Still has managed the living collection at The Met Cloisters in New York City since 2021\, overseeing the design and maintenance of the museum’s renowned gardens and seasonal displays. Her work is deeply informed by her interest in fragrance\, medieval plant lore\, and the medicinal history of the Bonnefont Herb Garden.

She is a recipient of the Chanticleer Scholarship in Professional Development. \nHHG Members $30 \nNon-members $40  (includes admission to the garden) \nREGISTRATION\n
