HPSO Garden Tour:
Beyond the Tulip & the Garden Gnome
Garden adventures in the Netherlands, Germany & Belgium with intrepid leaders Nancy Goldman, formerly HPSO President, and Jim Rondone, HPSO Board Member and leader of the Modern & Contemporary Gardens Study Group! Long underappreciated as a travel destination for passionate gardeners, the Low Countries and
the lower Rhine region of Germany offer a fascinating array of garden diversions - and not just
at tulip time! Freed from the French and English landscape design movements that dominated the region
for hundreds of years, gardeners, designers, and nursery people are now at the cutting edge in
developing and introducing new ideas, designs, and plant material. See the itinerary page for dates and gardens. Download tour flyer for complete details and registration form. Contact the office for more information.

Garden School Workshop:
Big & Small: The Best of Both Worlds -
Garden Photography with Allan Mandell
Join award-winning professional garden photographer Allan
Mandell for a
2-day intensive workshop concentrating on seemingly
opposite ends of the visual spectrum. Explore the worlds of Big &
Small through the macro close-up and the toughest shot of all, the
overall scenic. In this hands-on
workshop, you will spend two mornings on location practicing your shooting skills,
and spend two afternoons editing and critiquing your photos. Emphasis will be solidly on seeing & composition,
with technical advice as needed. Prerequisite: Students are
expected to know how to comfortably use their digital cameras on
manual mode (not automatic) and how to display a histogram on
their camera’s view screen. Allan’s sixth book as sole photographer, Garden To
Vase, made in collaboration with author Linda Beutler, was published last year by Timber Press. A portfolio of his
work can be viewed at www.gardenphotographer.com
