Art & Gardens of Jan Kirsh: Saturday,
September 21, 2013
Landscape designer Jan Kirsh has been
collaborating with discerning clients for 30 years
to design memorable outdoor living spaces that
provide a respite from hectic city life. She
combines an innate design sense with her extensive
knowledge of trees, shrubs and plants and the
local growing conditions to create her signature
Eastern Shore landscapes. First trained in
ceramics, photography and design, her return to
sculpture brings her creative career full circle,
yielding voluptuous and exuberant vegetable forms.
Jan will lead a tour of four private waterfront
gardens in the St. Michaels/Oxford area, including
her home garden and sculpture studio. The day will
end with plant shopping at Eastern Shore Nurseries
in Easton, Md. Jan's sculpture is on display at
the Academy Art Museum in Easton, Md., from May 10
