Corcoran Gallery of Art Lecture: MONDAY, MARCH 30 7
P.M.
"BRINGING THE AMERICAN GARDEN HOME" with Wolfgang Oehme
Wolfgang Oehme is a revolutionary landscape architect and co-creator of
the innovative garden style, the New American Garden. His gardens'
free-form designs reflect the simple beauty of the American prairie
with explosions of vibrant color, lush texture, and the sweet scent of
fragrant flowers. Through his creative use of perennials and ornamental
grasses, Oehme's designs harmonize beautifully with the natural
environment. From the Corcoran's stage, this ground-breaking landscape
architect reminds us all of our connection with nature as he discusses
his unique design style. Carol Oppenheimer, Oehme's colleague, joins
the discussion.
This lecture is part of a series accompanying the exhibition, "Maya
Lin: Systematic Landscapes," a show that explores the notions of
environment and landscape. The show runs from March 14 - July 12, 2009.

SketchUP Workshop in February
On February 23, 2009, our chapter presented a training session in SketchUP, a free 3D design tool created by Google. In a full-day workshop, participants learned how to use this program to express designs in three dimensions. The training was provided by Dr. Jules Bruck, APLD, assistant professor of landscape design at the University of Delaware and Education Chair of APLD. APLD awards 4.5 CEU’s for participation in this workshop.
