Landscape photographer Joanne Pearson will be our guide through this armchair tour of 11 gardens in southwestern England. Among the highlights are the much revered Arts and Crafts style garden at Hidcote; the last surviving rococo garden in England at Painswick; the inspiring gardens at Drogo Castle, the last castle ever built in England; and the remarkable Eden Project.  The Eden Project is the radical and inspirational transformation of an abandoned clay pit to outdoor gardens and multiple biomes housing rainforest, temperate, and arid plant species.

Joanne Pearson has been a professional photographer for more than 25 years. Prior to her career in photography, she was a registered landscape architect in the state of Massachusetts where she practiced for 12 years. Her photographs of gardens and landscapes have been featured in magazines and calendars that have included Yankee, Northshore Magazine, Vermont Life, Offshore, BrownTrout Publishers Inc. and Willow Creek Press. She is the solo photographer for four calendars produced by Mahoney Publishing including Flowers and Gardens of New England.  In addition to her garden photography, Joanne photographs architecture, landscapes, lifestyle, and food for the hospitality industry, architects and builders throughout the northeast.
