Internationally renowned garden designer Luciano Giubbilei, known for the understated elegance and timelessness of the gardens he creates, will present this illustrated lecture. He was deeply influenced by the black-and-white photographs of Villa Gamberaia taken in 1966 by Balthazar Korab. In those images–in their composition, deep shadows, views of the villa, misty air, and plantings–and through his own work, Luciano came to the realization that when he designs he is creating an atmosphere that connects our inner lives to the outer world. This connectedness has always been at the center of his design development. He will also explore how the spirit of collaboration pushes his creative process further, moving him from the comfortable and familiar into the unknown. Giubbilei was awarded the most prestigious accolade, the Best in Show award, at the Chelsea Flower Show in 2014. A book signing will follow the lecture.
