This year the experience will be a little different &#8212; we&#8217;ve been invited  to give a talk on all our garden design obsessions, to be held on <strong>February 20, 2020, at 9 a.m.<\/strong>  And we&#8217;re just ambitious\/foolish enough to attempt to cover  a lot of ground.

Design is aspirational and surveys of the backyard are windows onto the dream life of Americans, our built spaces embedded with our values, reminding us who we would like to be.<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"http:\/\/s52.photobucket.com\/user\/botanizeme\/media\/jan2020\/45fdb767ea9f80ccaff9dfe5998afa95.jpg.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i52.photobucket.com\/albums\/g23\/botanizeme\/jan2020\/45fdb767ea9f80ccaff9dfe5998afa95.jpg\" alt=\" photo 45fdb767ea9f80ccaff9dfe5998afa95.jpg\"\/><\/a><figcaption>Some of the images will be familiar to AGO readers, but we&#8217;re also dipping into image archives like the Getty Research Institute &#8212; &#8220;<em>the focus of this talk will be a visual as well as psychological and cultural treatment of outdoor built spaces<\/em>.&#8221;  (Garden of Reuben Munoz)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The backyard is unexpectedly complex, political, rich with history and more American than apple pie, simultaneously built with nostalgia and ready to be the future\u2019s laboratory. Generously illustrated with photo work from MB Maher\u2019s own catalog of landscape projects as well as underseen images from Julius Schulman\u2019s archive at the Getty Research Institute, the focus of this talk will be a visual as well as psychological and cultural treatment of outdoor built spaces.<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And just a head&#8217;s up that the Modernism Garden Tour sold out early, but more tickets have just been added.
