Digging Deeper: Rooted in Place: An Architect's Garden in the Country

Sat, Jun 11, 2022
2:00 PM- 4:00 PM

About twenty years ago, in the low, rolling hills of the Taconic Range overlooking Indian Mountain and Indian Lake, architect Larry Wente set about creating a home.  The resulting Hyland/Wente Garden has been a visitor favorite since its first Open Day in 2005. Join Larry for a very special garden walk as he shares insights into  his design process as well as specific  techniques he used to root his home in place, linking house and garden, as well as garden and larger agrarian landscape. The mass plantings, varied grid, and occasional strong verticals of the garden suggest the patterns of the surrounding agricultural fields and farm complexes. Emphasizing grasses, textures, colors, and plant  combinations, the gardens are designed  for interest in all seasons.

Admittance to this garden’s Open Day on June 11 is included with a purchase of the corresponding Digging Deeper ticket.
