Classes Return in 2023 with Saxon Holt on a Timely Topic
Wednesday, January 11 at 6 p.m. on Zoom
Saxon Holt is a photojournalist and sole photographer of more than 30 garden books, most recently Gardening in Summer-Dry Climates. He is a member of the American Society of Media Photographers, a Fellow of GardenComm (Garden Communicators International), and owner of the PhotoBotanic Garden Library. His work focuses on the relationship between gardens and the land, seeking a sustainable aesthetic that can enhance both gardener and the earth.
According to Saxon, this presentation encourages gardeners to understand and work in harmony with their region. By choosing naturally occurring, climate-appropriate plants, gardeners can promote healthier ecosystems and make a difference from their own backyards. Working with rather than against the summer-dry climate means reducing impact on water supplies and creating spaces that attract and sustain wildlife. It means taking a step back, letting nature assert itself in the garden, and welcoming in the unique wildness of these special regions.
