The Rocky Hills Lecture Series presents “The Lure of the Small Garden” with Marco Polo Stufano on Thursday, November 15 at 7:30 p.m. at the Chappaqua Library, 195 South Greeley Avenue in Chappaqua, New York. The series is dedicated to exploring the intersection of horticulture, garden design and the environment in relationship to the communities of Westchester County and the surrounding area.
Marco Polo Stufano was the force behind the making of one of America’s well known gardens, Wave Hill, located in the Bronx. Born and raised in Queens, Stufano is no stranger to the challenges of small-space gardening. Over the past ten years he has created his own intimate, small garden in Riverdale. His talk will share the evolution of his garden and insights into creating within the boundaries of small spaces. Admission to this event is free, and the lecture will be followed by a question and answer period. For more information, please call The Garden Conservancy at (845) 265-2029 or the Chappaqua Library at (914) 238-4779, extension #119.
