Join us!
Garden Rooms —
Inspirations and Ideas
and our annual bulb sale!
Thursday, Oct. 21
7:30 pm on Zoom – or join us in person at the Emanuel Synagogue
(160 Mohegan Drive, West Hartford) at 7pm.
Gordon’s presentation will include garden rooms that he and his wife have on their property as well as others he has designed across the country. With this real-life cross-section of photos, Gordon will explore the principles behind the garden room in a way that will encourage listeners to create their own rooms. Our members have also shared photos of their own garden rooms and Gordon will discuss a selection of these in his presentation as well.
Gordon is a nationally recognized garden writer and lecturer, having lectured in forty states. He wrote for Horticulture Magazine for 25 years and lectured with the magazine on nine multi-city lecture tours with four other designers across America. He and his wife Mary, who grew up in the North Cotswold Hills of England, have been developing a 1 1/2 acre garden around their 220-year-old farmhouse in southern Vermont for the past thirty-five years. Their garden is registered in the searchable Archives of American Gardens at The Smithsonian Institution.
We are also having our annual bulb sale! We’ll be at the Emanuel Synagogue Auditorium – we invite you to join us! Masks will be required at all times in the Synagogue, regardless of your vaccination status. Because of that, we will be unable to offer refreshments for those that join us.

His talk will be followed by a question & answer session. Questions must be typed in and the moderator will present the question to Bill for all to hear. Log in anytime between 7:15 and 7:30, and you will be let in from the Zoom ‘waiting room’ when the presentation is about to start, at about 7:30.
If you can’t join us, not to worry. Gordon’s talk will be recorded and the link will be sent to all members the week after the meeting. This is just one of the many features of membership – we thank you for supporting our efforts.
We’ll send another reminder to join us prior to the presentation.
Thank you.
