PROGRAMME:

PART II WINTER DREAMS ABOUT GARDENS

In the series of winter meetings with the history of the garden, we will move to the interior, where flowers illustrate in winter what we lack at that time outside. We will talk about flowers in painting and floral motifs used in various fields of art. We will also look into the greenhouses of our friends from Italy and Poland who found a common thread of golden citrus in the pages of history.  We will also get to know symbols that with their timeless pronunciation write a story that is accessible only to art lovers in the true sense of the word. The language of the world of plants hidden in the interiors of royal residences conveys the magic and uniqueness of these places and means more than words spoken directly.

We will go to sunny Italy to meet the great creators of the most outstanding historical gardens in the summer rays. In the scent of herbs, the colors of summer enriched with sculptures and elements typical of Italian gardens, we will discover a longing for the ideal form created by the hand of gardeners and designers who weave ideas into garden compositions and ornaments.

PART I AUTUMN GARDEN COLORS

 

The series of webinars will start with a story about tulips, whose bulbs are planted in autumn to enjoy their unusual flowers in spring. We will check whether tulipomania was a more magical phenomenon or maybe a madness, which in some regions of Europe indirectly continues to this day as an irreplaceable love for bulbs and flower fields woven from colorful tulips. The land of the eighteenth-century European landscape parks will most fully refer to the colors of autumn and rest, typical of this season. We will also talk about the elements without which the outstanding gardens of Europe would not exist: we will move to gardens that, to varying degrees, show the variety of ground floors and garden embroidery of different eras.
