NEW FOR 2012, this initiative,which has received considerable praise from participants and the media, provides exclusive access to private gardens in the Hamptons, Chicago, Newport, Sonoma and elsewhere, and opportunities to hear directly from the landscape architects and their patrons about the design process.

How do patrons and designers work together? What makes for a great, enduring collaboration? Garden Dialogues provides unique opportunities for small groups to experience some of today’s most beautiful gardens created by some of the most accomplished designers currently in practice.

Patronage and partnerships have yielded great gardens, from Vanderbilt and Olmsted at Biltmore, Bliss and Farrand at Dumbarton Oaks, to the Millers and Dan Kiley in Columbus, Indiana. Over three separate weekends this spring and summer at more than a dozen sites, landscape architects and their clients will provide insights into how they work together to create today’s masterworks.

June 9-10: Connecticut, Chicago, Northern + Southern California, Hamptons, Hudson Valley, Washington, DC
July 14-15: Connecticut, Indianapolis, Maine, Newport, Portland, Seattle
