Calling all garden enthusiasts: The Decorators Club 2016–17 lecture series is one you won't want to miss. Now in its 15th year, the series brings together experts to discuss design-related topics, and this year's event will focus on garden design and history. Among the speakers are AD100 designer Bunny Williams , architect Gil Schafer, and landscape designer Miranda Brooks .

"BArchitects, interior designers, and garden designers create spaces of beauty and refuge," says Decorators Club president Judy Girod of the series' theme. "As one of our speakers, landscape architect Thomas Woltz, said recently, 'I am always looking for the story of a site.' The lecture series will surely enlighten us with inspiring stories of many sites, from those created in the 18th century to the present day." Indeed, the program spans centuries of garden design, ranging from a talk by John Phibbs on the legendary English landscape designer Capability Brown to a Bunny Williams–moderated discussion between Gil Schafer and landscape designer Deborah Nevins about their ongoing collaboration. These talks will take place on October 26 and November 9, respectively, and two additional lectures will be held next spring. Individual tickets cost $30 in advance and can be purchased at thedecoratorsclubrg.
