NEW HAVEN — Judith Irven of Goshen, a landscape designer, garden writer and Vermont Certified Horticulturist, will talk about garden decoration in a presentation titled “From Classic to Whimsy” at the New Haven Community Library on Wednesday, April 15, at 7 p.m.
When contemplating a new garden, people usually start with the flower beds — either new or existing — and the variety of plants they would like to include. But, Irven asks, what about decorating the garden with art and artifacts? Just as people add pictures to the walls of their homes, adding art to the garden is a perfect way to imprint one’s unique personality on an outdoor space.
Irven, with images provided by her professional photographer husband, Dick Conrad, will examine some of the many decorations on display in dozens of lovely public and private gardens.
Light refreshments will be offered, and all are welcome. For more information, call 453-4015.
