Gordon Hayward

grew up on his family’s farm in New Hartford and has been designing gardens

professionally from his home in southern Vermont since 1985 with particular

emphasis on gardens in New England. He is also a nationally recognized garden

writer and lecturer. He wrote for Horticulture Magazine for 25 years and

lectured with the magazine on nine multi-city lecture tours across America. This

is his third time speaking at a Cherry Brook Garden Club meeting!  During this talk, garden designer Gordon Hayward

will talk about the many creative as well as practical roles stones can play to

give a garden a feeling of timelessness, structure, and solidity. He will cover

both the aesthetics of stone as well as the practical concerns about the proper

way to lay and set stone in the garden. To learn more about Gordon Hayward
