Tom Woodham

 

Tom Woodham, senior editor of Veranda Magazine, will give two presentations:

Decorative Elements in the Garden
Saturday at 1:00 pm

An entertaining and informative look at objects in garden settings with emphasis on how and where, and speculation as to why, they were placed. Images of good examples will be dissected for quality of materials, appropriateness and adherence to the principles of good design. How one tends and populates one’s garden reflects how one tends and populates one’s mind.

Entertaining—Veranda style
Sunday at 1:00 pm

Sparkling silver, scintillating conversation, fabulous food—and you, as effervescent as vintage champagne. Tom presents a lively, informative look at entertaining, featuring resplendent table settings from the pages of Veranda magazine and tips, historical and hysterical, for successful, non-stressful, sensational soirees.


Children’s art activities will be offered by the California Center for the Arts, Escondido with the San Diego Botanic Garden.

Cost: Free with admission to the Garden.
