Expo on the Road | Spirit of Place: The Making of a New England Garden

How does an individual garden relate to the larger landscape? How does it connect to the natural and cultural environment? Does it evoke a sense of place? Bill Noble’s presentation will help gardeners answer these questions by sharing how they influenced him in the creation of his garden in Norwich, Vermont.

Noble reveals that a garden is never created in a vacuum but is rather the outcome of an individual’s personal vision combined with historical and cultural forces. In this sumptuously illustrated presentation, he will take a thoughtful look at the process of garden-making and share insights gleaned over a long career. Come away with inspiration to create your own garden that is rich in context, personal vision, and spirit.

Bill Noble is a garden designer and garden preservation professional who works with clients to create compelling new gardens or to restore and revitalize existing ones. In his acclaimed new book, Spirit of Place: The Making of a New England Garden, Noble writes about the pleasures and challenges—both aesthetic and practical—of creating a garden that feels deeply rooted to its place.
