Garden Spark: Tait Moring presentation
Tait Moring presents Water, Limestone, Native Plants: Use 3 Essential Elements of the Hill Country to Design a Garden with a Sense of Place
Description: Growing up with a backyard comprised of thousands of acres of undeveloped land in the hills of West Austin left a lasting impression upon Tait Moring. Features encountered while exploring his home such as clear water, rugged limestone, and the beautiful, hard-fought flora unique to this part of the world all became indelibly etched in Taits mind and live on through his work done for clients throughout the Texas Hill Country. Join Tait for a tour of examples of how the influence of his beloved native landscape is manifested in gardens large and small, formal and casual with each garden a reflection of the specific site, a reflection of this region, and with its own sense of place.
Speaker Bio: A native Austinite and 7th-generation Texan, landscape architect Tait Moring has been designing and installing residential gardens since 1982. His work has appeared in books and magazines, and hes designed gardens for many well-known Texans. His own garden, which overlooks a canyon and is regularly visited by bobcats, coyotes, ringtails, and deer, has been open to the public for numerous garden tours and often makes a cameo as a backdrop for commercials, magazine shoots, and music videos.
Includes: A 50-minute presentation and 10-minute Q&A.
