Madoo Presents Winter Lecture Series, Madoo in Manhattan

authorStaff Writer on Mar 1, 2023

The Madoo Conservancy in Sagaponack will present a three-part lecture series in March titled House & Garden, each featuring a pairing of a noted architect and landscape architect.

The pairs will discuss the ins and outs of their relationships, from renovating properties to ground-up construction and how a house sits in its landscape and its effect on the environment, according to Madoo.

“Bringing the two disciplines together to create a harmonious whole is crucial in today’s environment,” Madoo stated.

The lectures will take place on three consecutive Sundays at noon.

On March 12, Quincy Hammond of Quincy Hammond Landscape Architecture joins Richard Bories and James Shearron or Bories & Shearron Architecture. On March 19, Ian Hanbach, a partner of LaGuardia Design Group, joins Viola Rouhani, a partner of Stelle Lomont Rouhani Architects. On March 26, Ed Hollander of Hollander Design Landscape Architects joins Tom Kligerman of Kligerman Architecture & Design.

Admission is $25 per lecture or $60 to attend all three.

Also coming up next month is the return of Madoo in Manhattan. Plantsman and designer Dr. Nigel Dunnett will present Transformational Gardens at The Cosmopolitan Club at 122 East 66th Street on Tuesday, March 14.

Dunnett, a professor of planting design and urban horticulture in the department of landscape architecture at the University of Sheffield, will explore the transformational power of gardens and share his own creative approach, emphasizing planting design as an art form, tuned to nature.

“The idea of ‘the garden’ has never been more important,” Madoo stated. “It’s where ideas, people and nature come together, in a safe space, interacting, mixing, meeting, mingling — creating new, surprising, unexpected energies, and different communities, at a human scale. Making, experiencing, nurturing, contributing to, learning from, participating in, being part of a garden is the ultimate and most engaging expression of the relationship between people and nature that we can have in the city. It’s a place where lives are changed.”

Dunnett’s work revolves around the integration of ecology and horticulture to achieve low-input, high-impact landscapes that are dynamic, diverse, and tuned to nature. His most recent book is “The Essential Guide to Naturalistic Planting Design.”

The lecture begins at 6:30 p.m., followed by a cocktail reception at 7:30 p.m. Admission is $125.
