This lecture is part of NYBG’s 25th Annual Winter Lecture Series
Renowned naturalistic garden designer, Jacqueline van der Kloet, has mastered a casual, magical technique where bulbs emerge playfully among other plants, as if dancing freely among the perennials and grasses, creating a painterly scene. Van der Kloet has been commissioned to assist in the planting design of some of the most prestigious public gardens in the world—from Holland’s famous Keukenhof and the palace Huis ten Bosch in Nagasaki, Japan to New York’s Battery Park and the New York Botanical Garden’s Seasonal Walk (the latter in which she collaborated with fellow Dutch garden designer Piet Oudolf).
Get a peek inside Van der Kloet’s own garden, ‘De Theetuin’ in Weesp (The Netherlands), which serves as a testing ground for her planting experiments and a place that feeds her lifelong addiction to spring flowering bulbs. She’ll also share visually-rich examples of her planting combination projects—including a castle garden in Germany, Het Park in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, a small park in Yokohama, Japan, and more.
We offer Continuing Education credits (CEUS) for LA CES and APLD for successful completion of this lecture.
