“The Chanticleer Gravel Garden” -Zoom Talk by Lisa Roper

When: Feb. 15, 10:30AM
Where: Sturtz Rm, Reuben Hoar Library, 35 Shattuck Street, Littleton, MA

Description

For the past ten years, Lisa Roper has managed the Gravel Garden at the renowned public garden Chanticleer in Wayne, Pennsylvania. The gravel garden is a stunning and unique landscape, a gently sloping site planted with a mix of fine-textured grasses, gray-leafed Mediterranean plants, drought-tolerant perennials, annuals grown from seed, and hardy succulents.

Ms. Roper will discuss how form, texture, and color are carefully considered in her design choices. She will introduce some of her favorite plants, cover planting techniques, discuss the importance of “editing," and explain how she uses photography to inform design decisions.
