Five Remarkable Women, Four Remarkable Pacific Northwest Gardens

July 12, 2019 By Donald Olson

Passion, ambition, determination—every great garden has a human story to tell. In this entertaining and informative 45-minute presentation, award-winning travel writer and author Donald Olson takes you on a tour of four remarkable Pacific Northwest gardens and introduces you to the five remarkable women who created them. Meet Hulda Klager, a housewife who became one of the world’s leading lilac hybridizers; Eulalie Wagner, a socialite who created one of the great estate gardens of Washington State; Elizabeth Lord and Edith Schryver, the first female landscape designers in the Pacific Northwest; and Lilla Leach, an intrepid plant explorer and botanist who founded her own botanical garden. Created in conjunction with Donald’s book The Pacific Northwest Garden Tour – The 60 Best Gardens in Oregon, Washington and British Columbia,” this presentation is usually combined with a book signing.
