Garden Tour and Book Talk With David Feld and Kurt Purdy
Sponsored by SML
Falls Village
Saturday, June 24, 10:30 - 1l:30 a.m.

David Feld, a writer, garden book collector, and former editor for House & Garden, will speak about conserving and recreating an established garden with his partner Kurt Purdy, along with the landscape designers Consolini & Tonan. We'll tour the cottage garden Feld and Purdy call a "work in progress" and hear about a few of the remarkable volumes Feld has collected over decades of reading and writing about gardens and plants.

This small group event is now full. A related event will be organized later summer.
