The Southborough Library is bringing back professional photographer Joanne Pearson for a series of presentations this spring.
The library invites the public to come enjoy Pearson “armchair tours” of “Gorgeous Gardens of New England” featuring her photos. The first presentation is this Wednesday evening.
On Pearson’s website, she describes how the lecture series leverages her experience from a prior career:
Before I was a photographer, I was a landscape architect. I left that career behind to pursue one in photography, but I carried with me my design training and knowledge along with my great appreciation for beautiful gardens, landscapes and travel. I enjoy sharing my knowledge and experience through a series of lively, informative lectures illustrated of course with my professional photography.
The March 12th presentation is at 7:00 pm on the Library’s main floor. It is part 1 of the 4 part series in March and April. The Library promotes:
In Part 1, at Glen Magna and Stevens-Coolidge Place, we will see our first examples of the transformation from farmland to fashionable estate that transpired in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. Among other stops in Part 1 are three rose gardens, two very different Preservation Society of Newport properties and the unique, Bridge of Flowers in Shelburne Falls, MA.
No registration is required to attend the free events.
Save the date for the next 3 parts, also on Wednesdays at 7:00 pm:
- March 26
- April 9
- April 23
The library’s free series is sponsored by the Southborough Cultural Arts Council (under the Mass Cultural Council) and the Southborough Community Fund (a fund of the Foundation for Metrowest).
