“What the world needs now in this Twitter-mad and Facebook-frantic world is a personal place to go and practice deep meditation and celebrate natural beauty,” writes Kimberly Stern in the January issue of Kansas City Homes & Gardens. And we couldn’t agree more.
Kansas City’s own Powell Gardens, with nearly 1,000 acres of botanical gardens, offers its visitors such respite.
And the 2010 Garden Symposium on February 20–sponsored in part by Friends of Powell Gardens–promises to touch on celebrating that sense of place in the garden with demonstrations and lectures by four celebrated garden gurus: Claire Sawyers, Stephanie Cohen, Suzy Bales and Rosalind Creasy.
In addition to the day-long symposium, there will be a pre-symposium demonstration and dinner lecture on February 19. For more information, and to buy tickets, visit shop.powellgardens.org or call 816.697.2600, ext. 307.
Time to get back to our roots!
