Wed, March 21 2018 Horticultural Lecture #3: Timothy Young—Writers and Gardens in the Archives
The stories of great gardens are told in their physical presence—and on paper. Archives show the planning and execution of gardens through journals and sketches. They also reveal the philosophy of the gardener. This lecture focuses on the archival legacies of several 20th-century writers and artists who built gardens, including Vita Sackville-West, Robert Dash and Rupert Barneby and Dwight Ripley. Timothy Young holds the title of Curator of Modern Books and Manuscripts at Beinecke Library at Yale University. Individual tickets: $25/$20 Wave Hill Member or student. Seating is limited, and advance reservations are recommended, online at wavehill.org. The lecture takes place at the New York School of Interior Design at 170 East 70thStreet in Manhattan.
