Maximizing Space in the Garden: Creating More of a Good Thing

  • John Hay Estate at The Fells 456 Rt 103 Newbury, NH 03255 United States (map)

A Zoom lecture by Tovah Martin! No matter whether you are gardening in a close-knit neighborhood or a sprawling estate, you want to garden efficiently, prolifically, sustainably, and beautifully. You need to garden smartly and you’ve got to conserve your resources. This lecture focuses on all the points on your checklist. When you layer a garden, not only do you maximize space, but you can also create hard-working habitats. You can fulfill a balance that serves our needs as well as the needs of pollinators and other creatures.  You can expect to hear many innovative ideas beyond the usual solutions. 

Tovah Martin is a horticulturalist, author, freelance writer, photo stylist, producer, and lecturer. In her constant, undying pursuit of all things garden-related, Tovah gets her hands dirty both outside and indoors. She is a perennial, heirloom, vegetable and cottage gardener of fanatical proportions, and is accredited with NOFA as an Organic Land Care Professional. Beyond the garden outdoors, Tovah’s areas of specialty also include decades of experience with houseplants (she grows over 200 in her home). That passion for gardening indoors led to her books, The Indestructible Houseplant (Timber Press, 2015), The Unexpected Houseplant (Timber Press, 2012) and The New Terrarium (Clarkson Potter/Publishers, 2009). Most recently, a new title was added to her book publications. Gold Medal award winning The Garden in Every Sense and Season (Timber Press, 2018) describes how your garden can kindle the senses on all layers to become more meaningful. These newest publications are added to more than a dozen titles that Tovah has authored including Tasha Tudor’s Garden (Houghton Mifflin, 1994).
