About this event
Gertrude Jekyll (1843–1920) was without doubt the most influential and prolific landscape designer of her time, creating more than 400 gardens in England alone. Even today, garden designers are indebted to her style, color sense, and environmental awareness. Landscape architect Suzanne Dworsky will present six gardens that Jekyll designed in whole or in part, starting with her own garden, Munstead Wood, and culminating, at the end of her life, with her masterpiece Hestercombe House, designed together with architect Edward Lutyens. Suzanne will also discuss several gardens influenced by Jekyll.
Over her multi-discipline career, Suzanne practiced urban design and landscape architecture before turning to photography in 1977. She has participated in international solo and group exhibitions, and her work is in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, Victoria and Albert Museum, Bibliothèque National, and Stanford University Museum, among others. She attended Barnard College and earned an MLA from Harvard University. A dedicated gardener, Suzanne is still working happily in her Tunbridge garden at age 96.
