Stephen Orr on Tomorrow’s Garden: Design and Inspiration for a New Age of Sustainable Gardening

 

With a keen eye for aesthetics matched by a strong concern for the environment, garden expert Stephen Orr has developed a sense of what a modern garden should be: manageable, visually pleasing, and responsible. He will present an array of gardens throughout America that have been scaled back and simplified without sacrificing beauty or innovative design.
