Susan Stayer: Studies of Garden Architecture

Betties on Show

Dunbarton Oaks in Washington is best known as an international centre for scholarship where academics delve into Byzantine, Pre-Columbian or landscape architecture studies. For Susan Stayer, however, its assocations are less taxing — she has enjoyed many days wandering the historic site's 10 acres of dreamy gardens, which blend the best of traditional French, English and Italian design.

Also called Dunbarton Oaks , Susan's exhibition is fittingly like a languid Sunday picnic, with each detailed tidbit inviting another bite in a totally flavoursome meal.

This show has also just finished at Photoaccess. See here for more about this cool photographic gallery and art centre.
