The Art of Fine Gardening is deeply rooted in classic design traditions, yet it demands more than aesthetic principles alone. True mastery requires extensive horticultural expertise and an artistic vision capable of transforming a two-dimensional design into a living masterpiece that reaches its full potential over time. For nearly four decades, Craig Bergmann and Russell Buvala have embraced and refined this philosophy through their collaborative work. In this presentation, they will share insights into the essential partnership between design and horticulture, illustrated by featured project profiles that showcase their enduring results.
