THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME

Internationally-Known Lecturers Illuminate the Shape of Things to Come at 20th Anniversary Antiques and Garden Show of Nashville

Her Grace, The Duchess of Northumberland, England ~
February 11~10:30 a.m.
She is the visionary behind The Alnwick Garden in Northumberland which houses England's largest collection of European plants, the world's biggest Tree house and, along with Alnwick Castle, is the featured site of "Hogwarts" from the first two Harry Potter movies. The Duchess plays an active role in the day-to-day planning for this exciting and contemporary garden project which uses its resources to benefit the public.


Michael S. Smith, Decorator to The White House ~ February 11~1 p.m.
With an international profile of residential and commercial clients including Cindy Crawford, Steven Spielberg and Dustin Hoffman, Michael S. Smith's consistent style has been characterized as a delicate blend of "European tradition and American modernism." And in 2009, Smith was chosen by the President and First Lady to redecorate the White House living quarters for their family. "It's an amazing honor to be asked," the Los-Angeles designer said as he revealed plans to explore incorporating collections of American art and pieces in storage at the Smithsonian to add to the White House walls. "It should make it much more diverse, and at the same time, more homelike for the family."


Ryan Gainey, Award-Winning Garden Designer & Author ~ Introduction by Carolyn Englefield,
Editor-at-Large, Veranda Magazine ~
February 12 ~10:30 a.m.

His special horticultural expertise will invigorate the senses as 2010 show-goers are greeted by Gainey's grand Entry Garden -- a feast for the eyes with spectacularly shaped and patterned surroundings in a traditional yet contemporary design. Based in Decatur, Georgia, Gainey is currently working on private gardens from East Hampton to Palm Beach. He will be introduced by Veranda Editor-at-Large Carolyn Englefield for this most colorful lecture.
