horticultural extravaganzas and reveals what it is about them that makes them
quintessentially American. Andrea Jones will reveal some of the adventures and
challenges she encountered whilst documenting the 25 gardens across the USA and
Canada. Her illustrated talk will show photography of the gardens themselves
and explain to the photo enthusiasts in the audience how some of the results
were achieved.
