"The View From Federal Twist"
The Horticultural Alliance of the Hamptons will host garden designer James Golden, the creator of the garden Federal Twist and founder of the “View From Federal Twist” blog, on Sunday, May 7, in Bridgehampton for a lecture on “a new way of thinking about gardens, nature and ourselves.”
When Golden was nearing retirement from a career writing in the corporate world in New York City, he moved to a property near the Delaware River in western New Jersey to make a garden. In the more than 20 years since then, Federal Twist has been featured in The New York Times, Gardens Illustrated, the Financial Times, the Wall Street Journal, Horticulture, Elle Decor and Better Homes & Gardens, among other publications and several garden books.
On visiting Federal Twist for the “American Gardens” BBC television series, Monty Don, the British TV gardening celebrity, said “after over 50 years of gardening and visiting gardens, it made me rethink what a garden can be and do.”
Golden recently published a new book on his garden, and copies of his book will be available for sale after the lecture.
The event will begin at 2 p.m. at the Bridgehampton Community House. Admission is $10, or free for Horticultural Alliance of the Hamptons members.
