Life with Flowers: Book Talk with Frances Palmer


Celebrated artist, potter, and gardener Frances Palmer encourages the idea of planning and planting a flower garden in waves—ensuring that there is always an abundance of blooms and a continual flow of colors, heights, and shapes that provides endless inspiration throughout the year.

Drawing on insights from her latest publication, Life with Flowers: Inspiration and Lessons From the Garden, Palmer will discuss her approach to gardening, consisting of six growing periods, from prevernal—those late winter days when the first snowdrops and hellebores appear—through summer and fall, with its dahlias and Japanese anemones, to hibernal, as we move back indoors and enjoy forced bulbs and greenhouse flowers.

From practical tips, DIY projects, favorite floral recipes, meditations on patience, nature's unpredictability, and more, join Palmer as she shares her rich and varied experience growing a life with flowers.

Copies of Frances Palmer's latest book will be available for purchase. She will sign copies after her presentation.

In the afternoon, Frances will host a floral arranging workshop. Separate registration is required for this class; please visit this page
