Landscape Architect Edmund Hollander Kicks Off National Speaking Tour at the Norton Museum of Art

Edmund Hollander at the Norton Museum, West Palm Beach, FL

In March, the Garden Conservancy hosted a special event at the Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach, FL, called The Landscape of Home, featuring acclaimed landscape architect Edmund Hollander. Joined by his colleagues Melissa Reavis and Geoff Valentino, Hollander discussed his new book of the same name, just published by Rizzoli.

The event, held in the museum’s Stiller Auditorium, saw Hollander and his associates examine the evolving concept of outdoor spaces as havens of beauty, refuge, and joy. He showcased his design philosophy, emphasizing the importance of creating healthy landscapes that prioritize native plants and environmentally friendly practices. Through a presentation of diverse projects, ranging from sprawling coastal retreats to intimate country estates, Hollander demonstrated how his firm, Hollander Design Landscape Architects, balances aesthetics with environmental responsibility.

Following the presentation, guests enjoyed a wine reception and book signing. Copies of The Landscape of Home offered a closer look at Hollander’s vision for creating outdoor spaces that not only enhance our lives but also preserve the natural world. The event was a resounding success, drawing a captivated audience eager to learn from one of the leading figures in landscape architecture.

As part of the National Speaking Tour, Hollander will appear at the Missouri Botanical Garden in St. Louis, MO, on September 26 and the Filoli Historic House & Garden in Woodside, CA, on October 17.
