This special author event kicks off with an engaging design presentation and discussion of the newly published The New Garden Designer’s Handbook with author Daryl Beyers.

Whether you’re starting from scratch or fine-tuning an existing garden, gain the tools, inspiration, and confidence you need to create a space that truly works—and delights—season after season. This lecture will be followed by a book signing and opportunity to meet the author. The New Garden Designer’s Handbook will be available for purchase in The Garden Shop<  before and after the lecture.
