Join Danielle Desilets, senior landscape architect at Carol R. Johnson Associates, for a lecture examining contemporary garden and landscape design in New England on Thursday, Aug. 2 at 6 p.m. at Historic New England’s 1784 Governor John Langdon House.
In the past few years, topics such as “sustainable landscapes” and “ecological horticulture” are becoming increasingly important in landscape architecture. Desilets explores how landscape architects work to balance these ideas with historic preservation, blending the old with the new. After the program participants have an opportunity to view the exhibition Lost Gardens of New England.
The program begins at 6 p.m. at the Gov. John Langdon House at 143 Pleasant St. in Portsmouth. Tickets to the lecture are $12, $8 for members of Historic New England. Register by calling 436-3205 or visiting www.HistoricNewEngland.org.
The Langdon House is open Friday through Sunday, June 1 through Oct. 28, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is $6 and includes the Lost Gardens of New England exhibition and a tour of the house. Tours are on the hour and the last tour begins at 4 p.m. For information call 436-3205, e-mail programinfo@historicnewengland.org, or visit www.HistoricNewEngland.org.
