Private Gardens of the Potomac and Chesapeake (Recap)

Mill Creek Towne Garden Club and guests enjoyed Claudia Kousoulas’ presentation about her book: “Private Gardens of the Potomac and Chesapeake”. Claudia Kousoulas’ talk focused on design, architecture, urban planning, and plant materials. The gardens spanned the vast expanse from the vibrant Washington, DC, Metro Area to the serene Eastern Shore of the Chesapeake Bay. We delved into the enchanting realm of 15 exquisite gardens, carefully crafted by renowned designers, as they unveiled the captivating landscape style of the Capital region. We were able to ask questions during the presentation to learn more about these various types of gardens and how they were developed. Garden locations included:

  • Washington, DC
  • Bethesda, Maryland
  • Alexandria, Virginia
  • Montgomery County, Maryland
  • Arnold, Maryland
  • North Shores, Delaware
  • Falls Church, Virginia
  • Annapolis, Maryland
  • Easton, Maryland

Following her presentation, we had the opportunity to purchase her book. We also enjoyed refreshments and talked to guests and members of the Mill Creek Towne Garden Club. We hope you will be able to join us in future events in 2024! Stay tuned, as we will post events on our website, Facebook, and NextDoor.
