Naturalistic design is based on landscape’s particular potential, rather than a traditional style. The seminar focuses on images of the Brine Garden, six-acres in Pawling, NY.

Most recently, Tom wrote Nature into Art: The Gardens of Wave Hill. Tom has written for The New York Times, Horticulture Magazine, House & Garden, and Martha Stewart Living, and is the author of more than a dozen gardening books. Tom is a graduate of the New York Botanical Garden’s School of Professional Horticulture.

Check out Tom’s new podcast, “Growing Greener”. Find Tom’s podcast at www.thomaschristophergardens.com.

Seminar size is limited, to register click on nybg.org.

Garden Conservancy Open Day at the Brine Garden

September 3, 2015 by Julia Brine Leave a Comment

The Garden Conservancy is the first national organization devoted to preserving exceptional American gardens for the public’s education and enjoyment.

“We conserve beautiful gardens because they are a vital part of our nation’s cultural heritage.”

The Garden Conservancy invites the public to visit America‘s finest private gardens. The Conservancy’s Open Days Program encourages appreciation of “gardens as living works of art“.

The Brine Garden – Duncan & Julia Brine 2015 Open Day – the 25th Anniversary of the Garden Saturday, October 17 from 12pm to 6pm, rain or shine Pawling, NY. Grass and gravel pathways connect ecologically and horticulturally diverse areas in this naturalistic, six-acre garden and arboretum. The maturing native plant collection includes an allée of Taxodium d. (with knees), groups of Chionanthus v. (with drupes), and more than twenty Viburnum (native and non-native), some with showy and abundant berries. Several imposing hedges of Miscanthus giganteus structure the garden and relate to the Phragmites of this formerly agrarian landscape. You’ll receive a property map and a plant list which indicates U.S. and Dutchess County natives. Anne Raver of the New York Times profiled this landscape designer’s garden. The Brine Garden is a chapter of Private Gardens of the Hudson Valley and Gardens of the Hudson Valley and is featured in Designer Plant Combinations, 50 Beautiful Deer-Resistant Plants, Horticulture, and Hudson Valley magazine, amongst others. Duncan Brine is an instructor at the New York Botanical Garden. He published an article on naturalistic gardens in American Horticultural Society’s magazine, American Gardener. See images on www.gardenlarge.com. An entrance fee of $7.00 helps support the Garden Conservancy and Friends of the Great Swamp. Handicapped Accessibility: no Brine Garden Office Porch

Legendary Norman McGrath Documents the Brine Garden

Norman McGrath, the Brine Garden

Photographer Norman McGrath is shooting the Brine Garden in its 25th year.

Norman and his wife, Molly, had lunch at Duncan and Julia Brine’s home and toured the Brine Garden in the fall of 2014. Not long afterwards, Norman emailed,

“Very much enjoyed our recent luncheon and visit to your beautiful garden. The fruits of all your care and planning have produced a unique environment. Would you consider embarking on a year long study which would examine closely the seasonal changes which make it so special?”

The Brines were thrilled at the prospect of collaborating with such an exceptional professional.

Norman is best known as an architectural photographer and author of the definitive book, Photographing Buildings Inside and Out, which has sold over 47,000 copies. But, for the past decade Norman has been observing and creating images of the Great Swamp, part of which is just across Route 22 from the Brine Garden.

Born in London, Norman was educated in Ireland where he earned an engineering degree at Trinity College, Dublin. His father was the Australian-born architect and author, Raymond McGrath. Norman has lived in the US since 1956.

Norman has photographed the work of a wide variety of influential and well-known architects and designers, including Mies van der Rohe, Hugh Stubbins, Charles Gwathmey, Frank Gehry, and Philip Johnson. His work has been featured in every major architectural publication and a collection of his photographs has been acquired by the Library of Congress. www.normanmcgrath.com
