Description

The Garden Conservancy’s presents “World Fair Gardens: Shaping American Landscapes,” a lecture and book signing with Cathy Jean Maloney.

Popular speaker and garden historian Cathy Jean Maloney, author of the recent book World’s Fair Gardens: Shaping American Landscapes, will present an engaging overview of the groundbreaking gardens and landscapes of the major World’s Fairs in the United States, with a particular focus on San Francisco. Using images from her extensive research, Cathy will show how the Fairs’ horticultural innovations continue to affect how we garden in our own yards and enjoy our public spaces today.

The event is co-sponsored by the Institute for Classical Architecture & Art – Northern California Chapter, and the Daniel E. Koshland San Francisco History Center at the San Francisco Public Library.
