Victorian, Formalism and Naturalism Into Edwardian Gardens: the Impact on Today's Gardens

(Belfast, ME) Terry Hire will be the guest speaker on Tuesday, February 7th at 6:30 pm in the Abbott Room of the Belfast Public Library for a lecture and slide show on historical design including Victorian, Formalism, Naturalism, into Edwardian gardens, and how those designs impact our gardens today. The event is co-sponsored by the Belfast Garden Club as part of its Garden Design Series.

Beginning on Friday, February 3rd, there will be an accompanying photo exhibit from Terry Hire's Botanicals series. The exhibit will run through the month. Hire is a fine art photographer (web), a certified interior designer, and a member of the Maine Photo Alliance. He is passionate about gardening and landscape design, and equally passionate about fine art photography.

Raised and educated in Tennessee, Terry moved to Belfast in 1982 and five years later opened Design Alternatives, an interior design company. His Bayside gardens have been featured in Gardens Maine Style: Act II by Sawyer-Fay and Karlin, Perennials Magazine, and also as the cover image of the 2012 Down East Calendar.

About his photographical work, Hire says, "The reductionist point of view seems to have always resonated with my own way of seeing the world. I see my environment through the lens, not as it is necessarily, but as it could be, as it is in my own mind's eye. I take to heart Ralph Waldo Emerson's line, 'Beauty is its own excuse for being.' I react to color, to the emotional charge of it; it compels me. I see in color, dream in color, and have to arrange the various parts and details I see in everyday life into a graphic and abstract composition, playing up the surface texture and repetition of line and pattern."
