The Lauren Rogers Museum of Art will present “A Garden Lecture” by Mary Palmer Dargan Feb. 2, at 10:30 a.m. at the Lauren Rogers Museum of Art.
The lecture will be held in LRMA’s American Gallery and will be followed by a book signing of Dargan’s book “Timeless Landscape Design: The Four-Part Master Plan” in the museum shop. Following the lecture and book signing, lunch will be served at the Rogers-Green House.
Dargan served as education director and botanist at Cheekwood Botanical Garden and Museum of Fine Art in Nashville, Tenn., prior to joining her husband, Hugh Dargan, as a principal at Dargan Landscape Architects of Atlanta, Ga. in 1985. She is author of “The Early English Kitchen Garden: Medieval Period to 1800.” She is a member of the Cherokee Garden Club, which is a member of the Garden Club of America.
The Dargans first received national attention in the mid-1980s when their work was featured in English garden writer Penelope Hobhouse’s landmark book “Garden Style.” Their projects, as well as their own garden in Atlanta, have been featured on CNN and Home and Garden Television and in several prestigious publications including The New York Times.
The Dargans have received the National Award of Merit from the American Society of Landscape Architects and were named in 1992 by Southern Accents as two of the South’s leading landscape architects.
Tickets are $45 per person and include lunch. Seating is limited. Call 601-649-6374 for ticket information.
The Lauren Rogers Museum of Art is located at the corner of Fifth Avenue and Seventh Street in historic downtown Laurel.

Boundaries
Just as each of us has a need for physical safety, we also have a need for emotional or psychological safety. Boundaries is the term we use to define what helps us feel safe and comfortable in relationships. We have all had the experience of feeling like another person was closer to us physically than was comfortable. So too it is important to define for yourself how close you want to be with others emotionally. Naturally, this varies with who the other person is.
