Hosted by the ICAA North Carolina Chapter
Join the 17c吃瓜网 & Art, North Carolina for an inspiring luncheon and lecture with renowned landscape designer Kathryn Herman, whose work has helped define some of the country鈥檚 most celebrated residential landscapes.
Drawing upon nearly three decades of practice, Kathryn will explore the relationship between architecture and landscape, sharing how thoughtful site planning, horticultural knowledge, and timeless design principles come together to create landscapes that feel both enduring and deeply connected to place. Through a selection of distinguished projects, she will discuss the creative process behind designing gardens that complement classical and traditional architecture while responding to the unique character of each property.
This lecture examines the design and evolution of the historic Pepperidge Farm estate in Fairfield, Connecticut, as a case study in the integration of landscape architecture, architecture, and horticulture. Through the lens of her own thirty-year stewardship of the property, landscape architect Kathryn Herman will explore how classical design principles—including spatial organization, sequence, proportion, and the creation of outdoor rooms—inform the development of timeless residential landscapes. Participants will gain insight into the design process, the relationship between buildings and gardens, and the long-term management decisions that allow landscapes to mature while remaining responsive to contemporary living. Project photography and drawings will illustrate how thoughtful planning and careful stewardship create landscapes that are both enduring and deeply connected to place.
Registration will open soon. Seating is limited, and advance registration is required. Please email [email protected] if you are considering sponsorship of the event and would like more details.
