Description
Garden Dialogues bring together patrons and designers to reveal the creative process, the give and take, and the collaboration that yields a great garden. The program provides unique opportunities for participants to experience beautiful gardens created by some of the most accomplished designers currently in practice. The settings are intimate - generally no more than 24-30 people; informative – at least 90 minutes, providing ample opportunity to explore the design process, the planting plan, and the garden with the designer and client; and exclusive - nearly every Dialogue destination is a private, residential garden.

House at Fletcher's Mill by Richard Williams of Richard Williams Architects, with Gregg Bleam of Gregg Bleam Landscape Architect

This modern complex set directly in the working agrarian landscape of the Virginia Piedmont recalls local traditions once strongly held. A new residence and guest house are perched on a picturesque knoll, abutting gently sloping meadows. The compound formed by the two structures is bordered by woods, and a new entry drive. From this vantage point, the minimalist house of concrete, cedar, copper, bluestone, and steel windows features views of the meadow, Thornton River, and three nearby peaks of the Blue Ridge Mountains, including Old Rag. The living spaces open up to broad views of the lower river meadow to the south and the wooded hills beyond the river. A linear pool, nestled into the landscape, occupies one of the choicest locations on the site.
