    Acclaimed British garden designer David Stevens comes to Filoli for his only Bay Area appearance to share his experiences in some of the world’s great gardens. The name of David Stevens International is known worldwide in landscape design from South Africa to Sri Lanka. One of his recent commissions was the master plan for the new gardens at the Royal National Rose Society that includes the commemorative gardens for Diana, Princess of Wales, the Queen’s Golden Jubilee gardens and the garden marking the centenary of the Queen Mother. In 1989, he presented the first garden show on BBC television, Gardens by Design, for amateur and beginning garden lovers.

    David Stevens is known for his down-to-earth practical approach to gardens of all kinds and at all levels. With an enquiring mind and outgoing personality, David has learned many lessons from the gardens he has seen and people he has met. Life Lessons from Great Gardens charts some of the influences that have shaped David’s unique design career and ideas that he is always happy to pass on.

    A book sale and signing of David Steven’s recently-published book, The Room Outside: Designing Your Perfect Outdoor Living Space, and a reception will immediately follow the presentation. With gorgeous photographs throughout, this inspiring guide immerses you in the aesthetics of outdoor living, from tiled gardens to trellised dining areas.

    The fee for this event includes lecture, book signing and same-day admission to Filoli on a self-guided basis.
