March 17 Program Carol Bradford: Water, Wood and Stone: Classical Chinese Gardens


Considering the tumultuous history of China in the last 200 years, it is amazing that so many gardens survive, dating to the 12th century and earlier.

Emperors, government officials, scholars and priests made gardens. Some gardens are large and some small. A common aim was to create a series of intertwined miniature landscapes, which can be viewed from pavilions and walkways protected from the weather. Gardens of Shanghai, Suzhou and Beijing from the Song, Ming and Qing Dynasties will be shown, plus a few bonus pictures of life in China today.

Carol Bradford is a freelance garden writer, photographer and consultant who lives and gardens in Syracuse, but who takes every opportunity to see the rest of the world. This May she'll be traveling to the Netherlands for Floriade 2012 and to the Chelsea Flower Show in London. She's a graduate of the Cordon Bleu in Paris and Cornell University. She's been the garden columnist for the Post-Standard newspaper since 1994. View her weekly columns.

This meeting will be held at the Whetzel Room, 404 Plant Science Building, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY (View map). Brown bag lunch at noon. Program begins at 1:00 p.m.
