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.

Jane Street and 11th Street Gardens by Robin Key of Robin Key Landscape Architecture
See the hidden side of Greenwich Village with an exclusive visit to two enchanting townhouse gardens. The first, on Jane Street, includes a front garden, rear garden, and second floor terrace. In the rear garden a large, curved seatwall defines the space, creating a niche for the garden’s dining table and providing additional seating. Custom-made copper planters hold lush, shade-tolerant plantings backed by a cedar and copper trellis, adding warmth and texture to the walled garden. Tucked away in a corner, a compact outdoor kitchen provides the perfect spot from which to entertain. A quick walk will take attendees to 11th Street, where the design for this townhouse rear garden is structured around three outdoor rooms. The geometry of the contemporary space is softened with lush, massed plantings, while two columnar hornbeams provide height. The perimeter fence takes design cues from the steel deck and railings, while the bluestone paving in the upper areas echoes the floor pattern inside the home.
