Gardens have changed in form and function over the past millennium. Hire’s presentation will span time and distance to examine historical garden design. Starting with the gardens of the Roman Empire, the talk will expand to highlight garden designs of the Middle Ages, including Muslim and Monastery gardens, up through the gardens of the European Renaissance, and on to the gardens of today.
Hire relocated to Belfast from Tennessee in 1982. In 1987, He founded Design Alternatives, an interior design company. His Bayside gardens have been featured in Gardens, Maine Style: Act II by Rebecca Sawyer-Fay and Lynn Karlin, in “Perennials Magazine”, and on the cover of the 2012 Down East Calendar.
This presentation is part of the Summer Talk Series, cosponsored by Camden National Bank and Jaret & Cohn Real-Estate.
