Speaker: Jay B. Sifford, Sifford Garden Design
Hear about Sifford’s discoveries from 20 years of garden design. Learn how to create a magical, immersive, and profound space versus 'decorating a yard.' I share tips on rhythm, lines, shapes, and light; creating theater using scrim; and the power of emotion.
This afternoon at Wing Haven is made possible by a partnership between Wing Haven and the local chapter of the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art.
Jay Sifford is a garden designer, writer, speaker, and frequent podcast guest who believes great gardens are built on four cornerstones: art, magic, story, and horticulture. He has a love affair with plants, but also approaches garden design from a psychological, philosophical, and spiritual standpoint. Named ‘North Carolina’s Most Outstanding Landscape Designer 2021” by LuxLife magazine, he has won numerous awards by Houzz, and a Perennial Plant Association award of merit in 2024 for his personal garden. He has been featured in Fine Gardening, Southern Living, Better Homes and Gardens, and Country Gardens as well as in several books. Jay cultivates a 300-square-foot courtyard garden in Davidson, NC, and a mountain escape in the western part of North Carolina where he nurtures a sunny, stylized meadow atop a septic field and a shade garden underneath a canopy of mature rhododendrons.
