Nancy Stevens
7:00 pm on Zoom
FREE for members, $10 non member donation
In her presentation, Scottish native Nancy Stevens will discuss everything from a 17th century Renaissance parterres to a garden of cosmic speculation; from General Eisenhower’s “holiday home” to the garden where Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes acquired his extensive knowledge of poisonous plants. You’ll view an artist’s garden, an author’s garden, see where Clive met Louise & Henrietta, and learn what the size of your walled garden says about your social status.
After working in the corporate world of banking, commerce and industry as ICI, GEC, Nancy Stevens decided to switch careers and become a freelance journalist. This has been augmented by her lifelong passion for plants and gardens: 30 years of owning gardens of various shapes, sizes and topography, supplemented by garden visits, broadened by the written word and topped off by membership of an excellent gardening club; in her case, Baldernock Gardening Club, where she was chairman, as she said, “for seven very enjoyable years.”
