SUMMARY:2021 Winterthur Garden Symposium
DESCRIPTION:The Secret Garden\nFriday\, September 17\, 9:00 am–5:00 pm\n \n\n\n  \n\n\nRegistration is now closed.  \nFrances Hodges Burnett’s 1911 novel The Secret Garden has been a gateway to gardening for generations of readers. Revealing both the magical metamorphosis of hidden spaces and the transformational aspects of nurturing nature\, the novel inspires us to re-examine the latent possibilities of places and people. Join us to explore secret gardens and garden secrets through a series of talks and walks with experts and authors from the fields of horticulture\, landscape architecture\, and horticulture therapy.  \nWinterthur’s Garden Symposium has been approved for LA CES HSW. \n\n\n\nProgram \n\n\n\n\n\nShow All  |  Hide All\n\n\n\n9:00 am     Welcome & Introduction\n\n\n\n☙  \n\nWelcome & Introduction\n\nChris Strand\nBrown Harrington Director of Garden & Estate\, Winterthur Museum\, Garden & Library \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n9:15 am     The Secret History of The Secret Garden\n\n\n\n☙  \n\nThe Secret History of The Secret Garden\n\nMarta McDowell\nAuthor and Teacher of Landscape History and Horticulture at the New York Botanical Garden\n\nExplore the backstory of the classic novel through the life of its author\, Frances Hodgson Burnett. Discover the restorative power of her gardens in Kent\, England; Long Island; and Bermuda\, and their connections to her fictional creation at Misselthwaite Manor\, the book’s setting. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n10:00 am     Urban Nature: Human Nature\n\n\n\n☙  \n\nUrban Nature: Human Nature\n\nPeter del Tredici\nSenior Research Scientist emeritus\, Arnold Arboretum\, Harvard University;\nVisiting Lecturer of Applied Ecology and Planning\, MIT\n\nUrban ecosystems are the ultimate manifestation of the dynamic conflict between humans and nature—between our desire for neat\, orderly landscapes and our fear of messy ecological chaos. This presentation focuses on the plants that grow without cultivation in cities and their remarkable ability to flourish in spite of stressful environmental conditions. This spontaneous urban vegetation is as cosmopolitan as the city’s human population and\, quite frankly\, is better adapted to our rapidly-changing climate than the native species that once grew there. Like it or not\, the ecosystems created by these plants have become the new ecological normal\, and it is time we recognize that they are not only making our cities more livable\, but also helping clean up the mess we have made of the planet. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n10:45 am     Break \n\n\n\n☙  \n\nBreak\n\n15 minutes./p> \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11:00 am     The Secret Garden: Landscapes Through a Gardener’s Lens\n\n\n\n☙  \n\nThe Secret Garden: Landscapes Through a Gardener’s Lens\n\nDavid Rubin\nFounding Principal\, David Rubin Land Collective\n\nLandscapes and gardens are highly political constructs\, reflecting the culture and character of the citizenry that create them. Rubin will explore the resonance of creating place and the inherent emotion to be found in gardens as narratives\, as personal constructs\, and as community builders. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11:45 am     Lunch\n\n\n\n☙  \n\nOptions\n\n#1 Caesar Salad with grilled chicken\, romaine hearts\, ciabatta crouton\, shredded parmesan\n#2 Applewood smoked ham sandwich\, Swiss cheese\, apricot chutney\, greens\, on pretzel roll \n#3: Moroccan chickpea wrap\, roasted beets\, field greens\, lemon parsley\, feta crumbles\n      All lunches include fruit\, kettle chips\, house made cookie\, and bottle of water \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n12:45 pm     Walks & Workshops\n\n\n\n☙  \n\nWalks & Workshops\n\nPre-registration required. All walks begin at the Visitor Center Patio (through the Café)\n\nA – Enchanted Woods\nSuzanne French\, Interpretive Horticulturist\, Winterthur Museum\, Garden & Library\n\nDiscover the magic of a woodland garden created for children under a majestic canopy of oak\, tulip\, and beech trees. Take a walk through Enchanted Woods and learn how its design encourages children of all ages to experience imaginative play\, connect with nature\, and develop a sense of wonder.\n\nB – Introduction to Forest Therapy\nAnisa George\, Association of Nature and Forest Therapy Certified Guide\n\nForest Therapy is a healing practice inspired by the Japanese art of shinrin yoku\, or “forest bathing.” It enables individuals to slow down and cultivate a deeper sense of connection both with nature and with themselves. Enjoy a guided walk during which you will deepen your personal connections to the natural world and explore how mindful time with nature can increase your sense of calm\, resilience\, clarity\, and connection to your true self.\n\nC – The Transitional Garden\nCarol Long\, Garden Curator\, Winterthur Museum\, Garden & Library\n\nGardens are in a constant state of transformation as the elements defining them change seasonally\, yearly\, and sometimes abruptly. Take a walk through three adjacent gardens—Azalea Woods\, Browns Meadow\, and the March Bank—to learn how these spaces were designed and are maintained in accordance with Mother Nature’s influence.\n\nD – Curator-led Tour of Outside In: Nature-inspired Design at Winterthur\nAlexandra Deutsch\, Director of Collections\, and Kim Collison\, Curator of Exhibitions\, Winterthur Museum\, Garden & Library\n\nBeginning in childhood\, Winterthur founder Henry Francis du Pont was a collector\, gathering birds’ eggs\, plants\, and other natural objects from the gardens and woods. In later years\, that same drive to “gather” and create beauty with objects was translated on a grand scale into his remarkable collections of decorative arts. Explore the exhibition Outside In: Nature-inspired Design at Winterthur with its curators and consider the many ways that H. F. du Pont looked to nature for inspiration for his interiors and brought the outside in\, creating an aesthetic that has inspired designers ever since.\n\nE – Uncovering Library Treasures\n\nThe Winterthur Library is a treasure trove of resources pertaining to garden and landscape design in Britain and North America across three centuries. From 18th-century pattern books to 19th-century plant catalogues to 20th-century autochromes of the early Winterthur garden\, librarians\, graduate students\, and visiting scholars will share a few of their favorite selections and discuss the flourishing research they inspire and enrich. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2:15 pm     Horticultural Therapy: Using the Garden’s Secrets to Heal\n\n\n\n☙  \n\nHorticultural Therapy: Using the Garden’s Secrets to Heal\n\nAbby Jaroslow\, HTR\, CH\nThe Alice and Herbert Therapeutic Conservatory at Moss Rehab/Einstein Healthcare\n\nThe relationship between people and plants has been evident since ancient times. In the modern world\, research and clinical observation support the idea that spending time in nature has physiological\, emotional\, and social benefits. Learn how skilled horticultural therapists utilize this knowledge to create treatments for improved health and wellness across a wide spectrum of individual needs. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n3:00 pm     The Power of Plants and People\n\n\n\n☙  \n\nThe Power of Plants and People\n\nSue Wyndham\nDirector of Programs\, Delaware Center for Horticulture\n\nThe Delaware Center for Horticulture’s Branches to Chances Return to Work Program is a re-entry program focused on job readiness and horticultural skills training\, life skills development\, and character-building outcomes. Launched in 2009\, Branches to Chances has evolved into a collaborative\, partnership-based curriculum\, which incorporates mindfulness practice and emotional and mental wellness support to complement the hands-on training experience and classroom curriculum. For some participants\, this is an introduction to public gardens and horticulture and their first time experiencing what Delaware Center for Horticulture promotes as “the power of plants and people.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n3:45 pm     Break\n\n\n\n☙  \n\nBrea\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n4:00 pm     The Magic of Children’s Gardens: Inspiring Through Creative Design\n\n\n\n☙  \n\nThe Magic of Children’s Gardens: Inspiring Through Creative Design\n\nLolly Tai\nProfessor of Landscape Architecture\, Temple University\n\nAn examination of 19 case studies of public children’s gardens reveals primary goals\, concepts\, and key considerations for designing outdoor spaces that are attractive and suitable for children. Two case studies from the presenter’s recent book illustrate how key design elements are integrated in creating children’s gardens. Through beautiful graphics and photographs\, the audience will gain an understanding of the design process and key considerations for designing inspiring children’s gardens. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFarewell\n\n\n\n☙  \n\nFarewell\n\nHappy Hour and networking option: conference participants are invited to register for Harvest Tasting at a special price for symposium participants. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHarvest Tasting\n\n\n\n☙  \n\nHarvest Tasting\n\n4:00–-7:00 pm\nReflecting Pool\n\nProhibition inspired the du Ponts to create a wine cellar that could last the rest of their lives. A dozen or so closets\, cellars\, and storage areas were packed with wine across the 2\,000-acre estate. After the death of Colonel Henry Algernon du Pont in 1926\, Henry Francis du Pont inherited Winterthur\, where he continued to enjoy the extensive collection of wines from his father\, as well as his own\, into the 1960s.\n\nEnjoy a beautiful evening in the garden as you sip on wines from around the world\, perfectly paired with an apertivo. Each wine—sparkling rosé from France\, sauvignon blanc from New Zealand\, gewurztraminer from Germany\, chenin blanc from South Africa\, sangiovese from Italy\, and cabernet sauvignon from America—will highlight a unique wine region\, including some of H. F. du Pont’s favorites. Wander throughout the Reflecting Pool area as you enjoy live music and relax beneath the early autumn skies. $90; $85 for Winterthur and Delaware Museum of Natural History members; $75 for Garden Symposium participants; $35 per designated driver\n\nOutdoor event.

He has worked with a number of plants\, most notably ginkgo biloba\, conifers in the genera Tsuga and sequoia\, various magnolias\, and several Stewartia species (family Theaceae)\, integrating various aspects of the botany and ecology of a given species with the horticultural issues surrounding its propagation and cultivation. This fusion of science and practice has also formed the basis of his teaching at the Harvard Graduate School of Design (since 1992)\, especially as it relates to understanding the impacts of climate change and urbanization on plants in both native and designed landscapes. His recent research has expanded to the subject of spontaneous urban vegetation\, which resulted in the publication of Wild Urban Plants of the Northeast: A Field Guide (Cornell University Press\, 2010). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbby Jaroslow\n\n\n\n☙  \n\n\nAbby Jaroslow\, Horticultural Therapist\, has an extensive background in historic preservation\, architecture\, and public art.
