“A garden authentic to its surroundings offers a visual respite, a magical bit of inspiration and an organic connection to the earth that heals and nurtures,” writes Kimberly Stern in the January issue of Kansas City Homes & Gardens. And we couldn’t be more on board with that sentiment.
Powell Gardens, with nearly 1,000 acres of botanical gardens in Kansas City, offers its visitors such pride of place–one of dozens of subjects regarding our outdoor landscapes that will be touched on at February 20th’s 2010 Garden Symposium, an event co-produced by the Garden Center Association of Greater Kansas City and the Friends of Powell Gardens.
Highlights of the day-long symposium, whose theme this year is “Beauty Woven with Practicality,” include demonstrations and lectures by four renowned garden gurus: Claire Sawyers, Stephanie Cohen, Suzy Bales and Rosalind Creasy. In addition, there will be a pre-symposium demonstration and dinner lecture on Friday, February 19.
