On Saturday, July 7th from 11 am to 12 Noon, The Aldrich welcomes Master Gardener Tessa O’Regan, from Cobblestone Landscaping, LLC, to lead a garden talk that will focus on the main principles of garden design and its connection to painting, sculpture, music, and dance. These links will be illustrated through discussions of contemporary landscape designers such as Piet Oudolf, James van Sweden, and Luciano Giubbilei.
O’Regan was born in South Africa and after graduating from the University of Cape Town launched a career as a clothing designer. In 1997, she and her family moved to Ridgefield where she stayed at home and raised her two sons. She completed the Master Gardener program through UConn in 2004 and in 2011 was certified as a Landscape Designer through the New York Botanical Garden, where she has studied for the past few years. She is also a certified NOFA (North East Organic Farming) land care professional. O’Regan started her own design/ installation/maintenance company in 2007 and designs commercial and residential gardens in greater Fairfield County.
Celebrate summer at The Aldrich every Saturday morning in July and August with engrossing programs and activities for all ages (with chaperone). Participate in hands-on art-making projects inspired by exhibiting artists, explore the Museum’s Sensory Garden, and join us for special events outside in the Sculpture Garden and in the Education Center.
This event is FREE for members, and FREE with the price of admission.
