For the health and safety of our patrons and speakers, masks may be required for indoor in-person Houston Seminar events, and we strongly prefer registrants to be fully vaccinated. Since events are held at a variety of venues with their own policies and protocols, there may be other requirements for some courses. We make every effort to inform guests in a timely manner if there are additional health and safety guidelines they will be asked to follow. Our trips and study tours, particularly those that include shared transportation or plane flights, may also require guidelines beyond those for in-person courses, which will be determined in conjunction with venues, vendors, and local guidelines. We will make every effort to announce these guidelines as far in advance as possible. Thank you for bearing with us as we continue to navigate the world of COVID-19 while bringing enriching experiences to our audiences.
Unique Gardens: The Garden as Playground for Self-Expression

FreeUnique Gardens: The Garden as Playground for Self-Expression
Personal gardens seduce us with the view into the gardener’s heart and mind. The plants, their placement, their symmetry and asymmetry, their order and color reveal the sensibility of the gardener. Landscape architect Sarah Newbery will give an illustrated lecture about such gardens and offer suggestions on how we can make our own gardens more personal and rewarding. She will then lead a tour of several private gardens in Houston’s Heights neighborhood that are distinct reflections of their owners’ gardening passions. Tour-goers will be provided with maps and will drive or carpool to the gardens. The tour will conclude with a garden reception.
Sarah Newbery is an architect and landscape architect. In 2013, she was named project director for Memorial Park Master Planning. Previously, she worked at Curtis & Windham Architects. She received master’s degrees in both architecture and landscape architecture at the Graduate School of Design at Harvard.
