Explore garden history through this four-part lecture series. In the late Victorian and Edwardian garden, flowers came to the forefront as the English landscape garden gave way to the cottage garden. Join Director of Education Lynn Norris to explore the era of country house gardens, designed by J.C. Loudon, William Robinson, Gertrude Jekyll, and Vita Sackville-West, followed by a walk in the Cummer Gardens. For further information, please email education@cummermuseum.org or call 904.355.0630.
