Paul E. Rogers Lecture: In the Footsteps of Giants

Step inside the living legacies of three of Britain's most influential gardens. This rare transatlantic panel brings together four remarkable women shaping the future of iconic landscapes: Julia Boulton of Long Barn, Rebecca Lemonius of Beth Chatto's Garden, and Claire Greenslade of Hestercombe, joined by moderator and garden designer, Annie Guilfoyle, Director of Garden Masterclass UK.

Hear personal stories and candid reflections from the contemporary stewards of spaces defined by horticultural visionaries Vita Sackville-West, Beth Chatto, and Gertrude Jekyll. Together they will explore the responsibilities, challenges, and joys of caring for gardens whose histories continue to influence design and horticulture worldwide.

This is a free program supported by the Paul. E. Rogers endowment to support education and outreach in horticulture and gardening for the community. Learn more about the Paul E. Rogers Lecture at: nebg.org
