    On Tuesday, September 19th over 140 guests attended a sold-out lecture with world renowned landscape designer Arne Maynard. Co-hosted by the Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ (Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ) and Architectural Digest, Maynard’s discussion focused on the balance between formal and informal elements in his landscapes and gardens.

    Following introductions by Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ President Peter Lyden and Architectural Digest Decorative Arts Editor Mitchell Owens, Maynard highlighted a selection of mature projects in the United Kingdom, Europe, and the United States. Maynard illustrated how formal garden layouts – defined by elements such as paths, hedges, trees, and topiary – form the bones of the garden that endure throughout the year and juxtapose with seasonal plants that, in their moment of exuberance, are encouraged to inhabit the spaces.

    In advance of the lecture, Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ President Peter Lyden , "Arne is among today's most influential and renowned landscape designers. To experience one of Arne's gardens is to witness the perfect synthesis of formal and informal design principles that, together, harmonize the architecture of a place with its natural setting."
