On Saturday, June 6, The Stickley Museum at Craftsman Farms will welcome back author Brian Coleman. At his sold-out lecture last June, Mr. Coleman spirited the audience away to England with this his discussion of “Historic Arts & Crafts Homes of Great Britain.” In his upcoming lecture and book signing, entitled “The Intimate Garden,” Coleman will take the audience on a tour of beautiful gardens around the country from formal, boxwood lined parterres in Charleston to an historic, Japanese tea garden outside San Francisco — all intimate spaces reflecting their owners’ tastes as well as their locale.
Coleman has been writing on gardens and design for more than a decade. A practicing psychiatrist, he has made a second career from his interest in the decorative arts. He is the editor-at-large for Old House Interiors and contributes to other magazines, including Horticulture and Period Living in the UK. He is the author of nine books on the decorative arts. He credits his own Victorian garden as the impetus for his literary career and still continues to enjoy his admittedly high-maintenance Seattle garden.
Whether yours is a large lot or just a few pots, you are sure to come away with some new ideas and inspiration for your own garden. A reception and book signing will follow the lecture. Coleman is a very popular speaker, so advance ticket purchases are highly recommended. For tickets or more information, please email info@stickleymuseum.org or call 973.540.0311.
