America's Romance with the English Garden

Mickey is a graduate of the Landscape Institute at the Boston Architectural College, a certified Master Gardener, and the garden colonist for Quincy's Patriot Ledger. He will discuss the American gardeners reverence for English garden design, particularly as promoted by the advertisements, magazines, and seed catalogues of the late 19th century.
