Pam Pooley
Following a career in public television production in New York City, Pam moved with her wonderful husband Eric, two lovely daughters, and a gentle labrador retriever to a bucolic town in New York, not far from the city, yet enticingly rural enough for her to drop a lot of what she was doing as she fell in love with gardening and all things green. Just as this evocation was taking root, Eric's job relocated the family to London, land of fine horticulture, where Pam immersed further into exploring gardens and landscape design. For the past 14 years, back in her farmhouse, she relishes cultivating, restoring and loving the land. Visit: www.pampooley.com
Jeanne Farewell
Jeanne Farewell is a pianist who gives lecture-recitals on music and its association with art and literature, and is also a writer whose published work includes essays, stories, novels, and book reviews. As well, she has cultivated an interest in art and art history and her paintings have been presented in shows. Such an engagement in the arts has informed her approach to the design of her garden, with elements of harmony, color theory, rhythmic tread, perspective, pacing, and even musical “rests” considered. A study of Chinese monumental landscape painting has created a compulsion to read negative space of a garden as well as the areas that draw the eye.
A longtime member of the U.K.’s National Trust, Jeanne visits English gardens whenever possible and, when not possible, reads about them. She has aspired to integrate the formal elements of the English garden with the wild and craggy property in the foothills of the Appalachians that is her home. Visit: www.jeannefarewell.com
