Rocky Hills Environmental Lecture
Dancing Through Borders: an illustrated talk by James Alexander-Sinclair

 

In this talk, presented in partnership with the Westchester Land Trust and the Chappaqua Library, British garden designer James Alexander-Sinclair takes us on a jaunt through a series of gardens he has designed, paying particular attention to how gardens connect us with nature. We all want to see beautiful things, to meet new plants, and to be inspired and excited. But we should never lose sight of the fact that we are not just gardeners, but custodians of the world. Good design goes hand-in-hand with good husbandry.
