Guest speaker Heather Heimarck encourages us to approach garden design from the perspective of walking through the garden, rather than viewing from the typical overhead design. She shared beautiful photos of garden paths and spaces and used short videos to demonstrate the importance of visual and sensory moments--or frames-- as one moves through a garden space.
Heather used the incredible Crane Estate in Ipswich to demonstrate many of her ideas. This worked really well as many of us are familiar with the property. However, it also got us thinking about how to apply these ideas to a tiny Marblehead garden. A few members shared their success with creating special garden places and paths (Beth's tiny rooms, Nancy's bluestone path and patio). I invite all of you to please send in some photos of paths and places in your own gardens.
