Digging Deeper: Power of Place at Manitoga - Session 1: 10am
Garrison, NY
About
This Digging Deeper is presented in partnership with Manitoga | The Russel Wright Design Center.
Landscape Collection and Conservation staff lead an exploration of the "power of place" at Manitoga, the woodland garden and mid-century modern home of pioneering industrial designer Russel Wright and his wife Mary Wright. In its concept, design, and management, Manitoga unites science, culture, and nature with an ecology that is both human and spiritual. By employing the language of the forest to rehabilitate disturbed land, Wright demonstrated a sense of social responsibility and environmental sensitivity that continues to be relevant for both at-home and professional garden designers.
