SUMMARY:Editing the Garden: Advice from the High Line with Yuki Kaneko • September 17
DESCRIPTION:Editing the Garden: Advice from the High Line with Yuki Kaneko\nThursday\, September 17 • 7pm\nOn Zoom and in person at Congregation Beth Israel 701 Farmington Avenue\, West Hartford\n(Members will receive the Zoom link the Sunday before the talk.) \nA naturalistic garden may appear effortless\, but its beauty is the result of intentional care and thoughtful curation. Drawing from her work stewarding one of the world’s most influential naturalistic gardens\, Yuki Kaneko will share strategies for managing dynamic plant communities while preserving design intent. The talk covers practical techniques to cultivate naturalistic aesthetics that remain vibrant and intentional across all four seasons. Attendees will walk away with a new perspective on plant selections that enhance texture and structure\, learning how to balance ecological function with an artistic vision. Join us to learn the art of “editing”—an essential practice to refine ever-evolving naturalistic gardens. \nYuki Kaneko is the Senior Horticulture Manager at the High Line where she manages the landscape of the internationally celebrated urban public park in New York City. Born in Japan\, Yuki earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts and a Master of Fine Arts from Tama Art University and was awarded the Blanchette H. Rockefeller Fellowship to study art in the United States. She received certificates from the New York Botanical Garden in horticulture and botany and further trained through the John Nally Internship at Wave Hill. Since joining the High Line in 2016\, she has stewarded its iconic naturalistic gardens designed by Piet Oudolf. With a passion for interpreting designed landscapes in the context of ecological conservation\, she manages the High Line’s horticulture operations\, plant curation\, and programming to provide a naturalistic landscape corridor that supports biodiversity and connects people with nature. \nRegistration link coming soon! \n
