A Brief Context of Contemporary High Art Horticulture

Presenter: Eric Evans, Horticulturist, Chanticleer Intern 

Ever wondered how much expertise and artistry goes into the Smithsonian landscapes?  Eric takes us on a tour of different gardens throughout history to explain how horticulture came to be how it is, what it aims at, and what it can be for.  If you’re new to gardening, or if you’re interested in a big picture look at gardening’s end goals, you’ll appreciate Eric shedding some light on the context of modern high art horticulture and how the Smithsonian Gardens fit in.
