Rachel Weaving is a garden maker, author and MGS member who divides her time between Washington DC and the Greek island of Corfu. In this introduction to the gardens of the island, she will touch on how they reflect the climate and environment and Corfu’s unusual cosmopolitan history; how the remarkable crop of contemporary gardens there reflect global design trends;and how both the old and new gardens have certain stylistic features in common, based on local materials and crafts. Some of her illustrations will come from her recent book with photographer Marianne Majerus: Gardens of Corfu available on Amazon.
