Lecturers George Little and David Lewis
Lecture Details
Celebrated internationally as artists and gardeners,
George Little and David Lewis open the gates to their renowned garden
retreat and share the personalities and enthusiasms that have shaped
its wild fantasia of plants, hardscape and art. Little and Lewis are
long-time collaborators whose concrete sculptures and installations
have been collected around the world.
Their Puget Sound garden is the primary showcase for their artwork but
also for the unique gardening qualities that epitomize their style.
Water features, oversized and broadleaved plants, expansive use of
colour, zone-pushing perennials, architectural features, and elements
of classicism and mystery - all combine to create a personal and
deeply magical space.
