MEDITERRANEAN GARDEN DESIGN
Presented by Sue Geddes-Page
Monday, June 29 @ 2:00 PM – 3:30 PM
Mediterranean garden design is partly shaped by climate and by the flora that evolved in Southern Europe, North Africa and the Middle East.
Elements of xeriscapes, gravel gardens and Paradise Gardens have added to the visual language of the Mediterranean garden, along with traditions in other winter rainfall regions such as California and South-West WA.
This talk illustrates some emblematic Mediterranean garden designs and traces the concepts of a regional garden style that has renewed relevance and global significance in current conditions.
Sue Geddes Page is a Principal Lecturer for South Regional TAFE Margaret River. Sue joined the TAFE staff as a full-time Ceramics Lecturer at North Metropolitan TAFE in Northbridge when it was known as Perth Tech. Sue has taught courses in visual arts and design, and she has a special interest in the history of garden design. Sue says she has never got over the privilege of being paid to spend most of her working life in art schools.
