Crossing Cultures – Globally Inspired, Locally Focused.
Reflecting on their own design and horticultural practices, the speakers at the Society of Garden Designers Autumn conference, Crossing Cultures, will consider questions such as:
What are the ethics of borrowing from other cultures?
Are restrictions on importing plant material limiting the designer’s palette and potential for biodiversity?
What lessons can be learned from travelling through foreign landscapes?
How do diverse cultures think about and nurture Nature?
At what point does the designer’s cultural heritage meet with the client’s interests and style
to make a signature garden with award winning potential? Speakers include Tony Kirkham, Tomoko Kawauchi, Jim Fogarty, Wambui Ippolito, Sophie Walker, Tommaso del Buono and Paul Gazerwitz .
The conference will be chaired by Juliet Sargeant.
Time: 08:45 GMT
