To celebrate our sponsorship of the Garden Conservancy's Garden Futures Summit this September in NYC, we are reflecting on some of the important initiatives that have tied our two organizations together over the years.
The Mountain Brook, Alabama garden of distinguished GCA club member Louise Wrinkle was selected for documentation by our friends at the Garden Conservancy. Not only has Louise been a GCA club member for over 40 years, but she was also a founding board member of the Garden Conservancy. In 2017, she self-published an extraordinary book, “Listen to the Land: Creating a Southern Woodland Garden.” Her forward-thinking approach has inspired a growing appreciation for native gardening across the country.
The Conservancy is interviewing members of the Little Garden Club of Birmingham (GCA), leadership and editors from VERANDA Magazine, Flower Magazine, and Southern Living Magazine along with landscape architects and local historians and will release film shorts over the next few months.
The cross pollination continues, and we are pleased to share with you the Garden Conservancy’s inaugural Garden Futures Summit on September 29-30, 2023 - “How Gardens are Changing the Future” focusing on environment, community, and culture.
