Learn which flowers are still blooming in the fall, such as such as sedums, asters, mums, and ornamental grasses.

Museum of International Folk Art

Watch a short video of last year’s speaker at the Annual Meeting, Tom Aageson, Executive Director and Co-Founder of the Global Center for Cultural Entrepreneurship. His talk was titled: “Creativity, Culture , Gardens – Connected?”

Lecture description: The periods immediately prior to the reigns of Henry VIII and William III were times of monarchical insecurity and strife.  Where better to induce calm, confidence and co-operation with forcibly established power than in gardens and looking out on them?  LOOK what we have brought you: peace, prosperity and order.  It doesn’t even need to be SAID.

Michael Pulman was born and raised in an English family of gardeners and garden visitors.  He encountered his first botanical garden when at boarding school in Oxford.  He has a Ph.D. in English history from UC Berkeley, has conducted study tours involving gardens in England, Belgium, Germany, Austria and Italy, has visited gardens in France, Holland, Spain, Lebanon, Syria, Portugal (including Madeira), India, Australia and New Zealand, taught for a year in Florence, the eponymous City of Flowers and has visited Hampton Court too many times to count since age about twelve.  He lived there, in the Landmark Trust’s Georgian House, for a week in 1997.

All lectures will be presented at 2:00pm at the Museum of International Folk Art, on Camino Lejo off Old Santa Fe Trail in Santa Fe.  Light refreshments will be available before the lecture. Admission to Museum galleries is not included.
