Belleville – Cultivating A Heritage Landscape Presentation

Just ahead of Earth Day 2024, the City of Belleville’s Glanmore National Historic Site, part of the Community Services Department, is hosting Cultivating a Historic Landscape – an informative presentation to inspire sustainable care for the earth through gardening and land stewardship.

Join landscape architect Victoria Taylor to discover how heritage, community and landscape stewardship play a role in the restoration of the gardens around Glanmore and gain inspiration you can apply to gardens of your own. Following the presentation, there will be ample time for questions and answers.

Guest speaker Victoria Taylor is a landscape architect and proprietor of VTLA Studio, a collaborative, creative design studio based in Prince Edward County. VTLA Studio works to reinterpret and add new meaning to our relationship to land and place through the design of built and living forms. Victoria holds a Master of Environmental Studies from York University, a Master of Landscape Architecture from the University of Toronto, and brings a wide range of experience and knowledge to her presentation.

The Cultivating a Historic Landscape presentation will take place at Glanmore National Historic Site (257 Bridge St. East) on Saturday, April 20 at 2 p.m. Advance tickets are required and can be purchased online. Tickets are $8.00 for adults and $6.50 for students and seniors (including H.S.T.) or free if you hold a membership to Glanmore. Tickets include a self-guided tour of the historic house.
