Speakers Series

December 16, 2021

Chairman Tata Kellam, The Garden  Club of the Eastern Shore

The January 10, 2005, Speakers Series, chaired by Tata Kellam, was standing room only at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden and featured Tom Woodham, Senior Editor of Veranda Magazine, who presented slide lectures “Decorative Elements in the Garden” and “Entertaining, Veranda Style.”

January 16, 2006, Speakers Series was again standing room only at Lewis Ginter. Tata secured two outstanding speakers. Renny Reynolds, one of New York’s preeminent floral and entertainment designers and owner of a wholesale and retail nursery in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, presented slides of various garden landscapes, as well as his own spectacular gardens. Duff Kliewer, well-known residential architect and interior designer from Viriginia Beach, presented, “Why We Should All Love Detail.” His design projects integrate architecture, interior design and landscape design, and attendees were fascinated as he showed examples of his work.

“The Garden Club of Virginia exists to celebrate the beauty of the land, to conserve the gifts of nature and to challenge future generations to build on this heritage.”

These worthy goals have guided the Garden Club of Virginia since 1920.
