March 1st we are having a guest lecture by Kenny Helphand, an Oregon landscape architecture professor, as part of his book tour promoting Defiant Gardens. National Public Radio posted a great set of photos to accompany the "'Defiant Gardens' During Wartime" audio story that they ran last year on Memorial Day. You can read or listen. They also reprinted an excerpt from Helphand's book on the topic.
It is great to see landscape architecture getting that sort of visibility. It is especially great to have someone like Kenny Helphand coming to Rutgers to share these stories with us. Jean Marie and I saw him present a small part of this material in Vancouver last summer and it was truly moving.
