Gardens of the Jazz Age
January 18, 2015 |
In this light-hearted, yet serious lecture, Jenny Rose Carey, Director of the Ambler Arboretum at Temple University, and a member of the Garden Club of Philadelphia, investigates the fascinating gardens of the Jazz Age. Using images from magazines, books and glass lantern slides from the Archives of American Gardens at the Smithsonian, she weaves garden history, design, social history and women’s history into a tale of the times. At its height in the 1920s, the Jazz Age was known for music, dancing, liberation, and fun. Influences from Europe and America’s own garden past combined to produce some of the most creative and opulent gardens in American Garden History. Gardens, like art and music, reflect their time of creation.
