Sunday, March 25, 2012 for the 10th Goodwood Garden Symposium

The featured speaker is garden historian, writer and award winning horticulturalist J. Dean Norton, who is the Director of Horticulture at Mount Vernon, the historic home of George Washington. Norton will speak about the restoration process and changes made to the Upper Garden, also known as the Pleasure Garden at Mount Vernon. Based on careful archaeological excavations, the gardeners have re-created this landscape to what experts believe is a much more accurate representation of the one Washington knew in the late 18th century. The restored garden is both creative and practical, just as it was during George Washington's time, with three large planting beds for produce framed by beautiful flowering trees and perennials.

The second speaker on the program is Bill Finch, Executive Director of the Mobile Botanical Garden, and popular garden writer for the Garden and Home section of the Mobile Press-Register. He has a call-in Sunday morning radio show, Plain Gardening for the Gulf Coast. Finch will speak about the longleaf pine, its contribution to garden history and to urban and suburban life in the South.

Please check back to this site for details and registration information, which will be coming soon.

A MIDTOWN HEIRLOOM
Walk around Goodwood Museum and Gardens and you’ll get a sense of Old Florida charm and splendor. Once the centerpiece of a 2,400-acre plantation, the main house has been restored. All furnishings are original to the house, and the plants and flowers outside also are “heirloom” – none are used that appeared after 1929. With majestic oaks, sprawling lawns and a breezy front porch, it remains a popular place for antique shows, lectures, demonstrations, holiday events and live music.
