Description

Garden Dialogues: Northern California

On September 14, 2013, get exclusive access to two private gardens in Northern California and hear directly from the designers and their clients.

Garden Dialogues brings together patrons and designers to reveal the creative process, the give and take, and the collaboration that yields a great garden. 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.

Saturday, September 14, 12 to 1:30pm | San Francisco
A: Russian Hill Garden
James A. Lord and Roderick Wyllie, Surfacedesign, with C. Kelton Dissel, John Maniscalco Architecture
Nestled in the heart of Russian Hill, this intimate, multi-level garden acts as a respite from the bustle of the city. The main courtyard is sleek and elegant, the cream-colored stone and concrete have been rendered sensuous, and the plant materials have a sculptural quality. The garden acts as an extension of the interior, providing moments for viewing, resting, and gathering with the Bay and Golden Gate Bridges as dramatic backdrops.

Saturday, September 14, 3 to 4pm | San Francisco
B: Urban Spring
Marcel and Jennifer Carroll Wilson, Bionic
A natural spring in the backyard of a Glen Park home became the focal point for a lush and richly planted urban wildlife habitat that mixes woodland, an iris-filled wetland, and discreet open spaces all linked by inviting wooden and black pebble paths. The use of space is clever and efficient and even includes openings in the cedar fence to provide views out to the city and to make room for branches from the neighbor’s Japanese maple
