Our November general meeting speaker Linda Larson, The Traveling Gardener, will give a talk titled, “The Best View of our World is Through a Garden.” Gardens large and small, provide destinations all around the globe, and exploring the world through gardens is a captivating way to travel. For every garden there is the story of the gardener who planted the seeds and arranged the ground. There are the homes they built, revealing the social structure of the time and the power & struggle required to make a garden.

Weaving stories from her personal travel to over 900 gardens in 35 countries, Linda has created a visual adventure that will inspire you to venture down garden paths of the world. Exploring the world, one garden at a time, Linda will illustrate nature’s beauty along with the architecture of each garden.

Linda is an advocate for the importance of public green space and the value of nature in our lives. A lifelong lover of flowers, Master Gardener, Faculty Emeritus of Mesa College and gardener in Mesa, AZ for over 30 years, she writes a monthly “Traveling Gardener” column for the Maricopa County Master Gardener newsletter, Roots & Shoots and AFGC State Newsletter, Greenleaf.
