Janet Mavec: Bird Haven Farm
Join us for the launch of Bird Haven Farm, a richly illustrated new book by Janet Mavec, published by Rizzoli, featuring photographs by Ngoc Minh Ngo, which chronicles the twenty-year transformation of a historic American farmstead into a layered, living landscape.
Through photographs and stories, Mavec reflects on the careful stewardship of a property shaped by history, ecology, and collaboration. Working with leading garden designers and horticulturalists, she has preserved the site’s narrative while reimagining it for contemporary life - creating a sequence of gardens, orchards, meadows, and gathering spaces held within a natural woodland hollow.
From cloud-pruned boxwood and stone-walled productive gardens to orchards, ponds, and hay meadows, Bird Haven Farm explores how beauty, function, and long-term care can coexist.
Chaired by landscape gardener Jinny Blom, this event offers an opportunity to hear directly from Mavec about landscape as a lifelong commitment - and the patience, imagination, and collaboration required to make a place endure.
