Dan Pearson
Dan Pearson, one of Britain’s top garden designers and garden writers, will be coming to Vancouver in November to give a free lecture.
This will be a significant occasion in the events calendar for B.C. gardeners as Pearson has impressive credentials both as the winner of many awards at the Chelsea Flower Show as well as a writer for top publications such as the Sunday Times and Gardens Illustrated magazine, of which he is a member of the editorial board.
Scheduled for November 15, the lecture is the third in the annual free Garden Design Lecture series organized by the University of B.C. Continuing Studies as part of its outreach and enrichment program.
Pearson will discuss his professional career as a garden and landscape designer and share his understanding and appreciation of natural landscapes and landforms.
As well as a weekly newspaper gardening columnist for over 14 years, Pearson also sits on the editorial board of Gardens Illustrated magazine.
He is the author of a number of books, including The Essential Garden Book (with Sir Terence Conran), has designed five award-winning Chelsea Flower Show gardens, and has presented and appeared in many TV series.
In 2011 he was elected an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) and was a member of the jury for the 2011 RIBA Stirling Prize.
In 2012 he was elected a Royal Designer for Industry (RDI) by the Royal Society of Arts (RSA) and was awarded the International Prize and Jury Prize at the Society of Garden Designers Awards
