GROWING BEAUTIFUL FOOD

Speaker Matthew Benson shows you how to become a thoughtful steward of your own beautiful, edible landscape and proposes that growing your own organic food is not only better for you and the planet, but is a deeply transformative experience: You will find yourself not only creating an authentic, meaningful connection to the land, but to all the possibilities for growth and change that ensue.

THE PHOTOGRAPHIC GARDEN

Speaker Matthew Benson shows you how to become a better, more intuitive artist in the landscape; helps you foster a deeper understanding of design and aesthetics; and encourages you to develop your own visual sensibility through hundreds of his own thought provoking images of landscapes, plants, still life and gardens. You’ll learn how to explore the garden with your camera; how to apply the fundamentals of composition, light, and color to imagemaking; and how to use digital technology to improve and enhance images you’ve taken. Most of all, you’ll be motivated to see like a camera, work like a professional, and imagine and create like an artist.
