Additionly, she has shown her work in several museums and galleries, including Artist’s Space in New York and the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art.

The talk is the last one in a monthly series marking the 100th anniversary of Wharton’s influential garden and travel book, “Italian Villas and Their Gardens.” With the autumn landscape as a backdrop, the October talk will spotlight elements of Wharton’s garden design that are, in many ways, even easier to recognize and appreciate after the traditional growing and garden-viewing season has passed. Participants will learn about what Wharton called “garden-magic,” the beauty and vitality inherent in a well-designed garden at every season. The title for the talk comes from a key quote in Wharton’s 1904 book. “The Italian garden does not exist for its flowers;” she wrote, “its flowers exist for it: They are a late and infrequent adjunct to its beauties, a parenthetical grace counting only as one more touch in the general effect of enchantment … The result has been a wonderful development of the more permanent effects to be obtained from the three other factors in garden-composition — marble, water and perennial verdure — and the achievement, by their skilful blending, of a charm independent of the seasons.” The 20-minute talk will take place Oct. 1, 8, 15, 22 and 29 at 1 and 2 p.m., beginning on The Mount’s terrace. It is free with paid admission, with a limit of 20 participants. Register on site. The talk will be hosted by Betsy Anderson, lead garden guide.
