Gardens of the World

Sunday, April 29
4:30 p.m.

Join us for a Sunday afternoon exhibition talk on Gardens of the World by garden
designer Florence Boogaerts.

Discover how gardens around the world differ in concept, design, and function. From
England's double shrub and perennial borders to Japanese gardens that serve as spiritual
retreats; from garden as political statement in
Mt. Stewart, Ireland, to the use of native plants in New Zealand, Boogaerts will
give a fascinating, whirlwind garden tour of the world.

As you may know, this year's StudentCam competition asked students to create a 5-8 documentary on the topic of the Constitution and why it is important to them. Each morning during the month of April we featured interviews with the top 27 prize winning film makers on C-SPAN's morning program, Washington Journal.

Today's interview with Grand Prize winner Matthew Shimura discussing his video about due process and the Japanese-American internment during World War II marked the culmination of this year's competition.
