PLAN TO ATTEND:
April 24 to May 3, 2019: Trip to Spain with
The Friends of the Ohio Governor’s Residence and Heritage Garden-a unique opportunity to visit the gardens where Moorish art took root
in Spain. The Gardens of Andalucia will be explained to us by Amanda Patton and Emma Clark, renowned garden designers and garden history experts. One of the most significant aspects of this tour will be seeing the European ‘Paradise Gardens,’ the most important and influ- ential garden style prior to the Renaissance, and still the inspiration for countless gardens today.
