A Transplanted Gardener: Page Dickey
In 2015, renowned garden writer and designer Page Dickey moved from Duck Hill-the beloved 1830's North Salem farmhouse and 3-acre garden she'd owned and loving tended for 33 years-to an old church with 17 acres of fields and woods and a view of the Berkshire foothills. This move changed her as a gardener, as she fell in love with this wild land, becoming absorbed with being its steward. Dickey will share insights from her new book, Uprooted: A Gardener Reflects on Beginning Again, an endearing, humorous reflection on the challenges and joys of gardening-and transitions.
Author of nine books, Page Dickey serves on the Board of the Garden Conservancy, and was recently elected an Honorary Member of The Garden Club of America.

Cultivating a Creative Life: Frances Palmer
Frances Palmer centers her creative life-and daily photo shoots-in an airy studio inside her Connecticut barn. The celebrated potter, gardener, cook and entrepreneur was trained as an art historian, but became obsessed with dahlias after spotting one in a gardening book. Today, growing all flowers is her passion, and they fill her extraordinary pots that have been featured in: The New York Times Magazine, Vogue, Elle Decor, Martha Stewart Living, Architectural Digest and scores of others. Drawing on insights from her debut book, Life in the Studio: Inspiration and Lessons on Creativity, Palmer focuses on what matter most: determination, routine, prioritization, perseverance, and perspective.

Federal Twist: James Golden
When James Golden set out to create a wet prairie in western Jersey, he faced heavy clay, standing water, and a derelict woodland. Eschewing traditional approaches, he planted right into the matrix of weedy invasives, without mulching, amending the soil or spraying herbicide- unconventional methods Thomas Rainer and Claudia West call "a daring dance with nature."
Today, Golden's acclaimed Federal Twist is a lush riot of hardy grasses and perennials given structure by tall, architectural plants, and has been profiled in Gardens Illustrated, The New York Times, Rainer and West's Planting in a Post- Wild World, Claire Takacs's Dreamscapes, andChristopher Wood's Gardenlust.
