GARDEN DESIGN PRESENTATION
In today’s busy world a place of peace and tranquility is most welcome. And such a haven can be as close as one’s backyard garden. Noted landscape designer Jan Johnsen will speak on the secrets of making these places of serenity on Thurs., Oct. 11, at 1 p.m. at the St. John’s Episcopal Church, 58 Clinton Street, Cornwall.
Johnsen’s presentation, “Romancing the Garden: How to Create Sanctuary and Delight in the Garden,” is sponsored by the Cornwall Garden Club with support from District X, Federated Garden Clubs of New York State.
The event is open to the public, and there is no charge to attend. Light refreshments will follow the presentation, and those interested are invited to stay for the Cornwall Garden Club’s October business meeting. Questions regarding the program may be directed to Cornwall Garden Club member Eileen Tulloch at 534- 8014.
Johnsen has been a landscape design professional for more than 40 years. Her firm, Johnsen Landscapes and Pools, is located in Westchester County. Many of her firm’s projects have been featured in books and magazines. Johnsen also is an adjunct professor at Columbia University, and she teaches at the New York Botanical Garden.
Johnsen’s talk will inspire attendees to create their own special places of relaxation and rejuvenation and to turn basic backyards into gardens that enrich and enhance health and well being.
