Garden Spark: Jackson Broussard talk
Jackson Broussard presents Curiosity Informs Design: Making a One-of-a-Kind Garden with Found and Sentimental Objects

Description: Learn how to design and develop a personal garden that is very reflective of you and therefore one-of-a-kind. Through genuine curiosity about yourself and your surroundings, you can define your lifestyle. For example: what brings you joy or pain? How do you relax? How do you entertain yourself and others? Which objects invoke sentimental and positive memories? Where have you traveled? In short, how do you live? This definition speaks to how you engage and interact with your garden.

Defining your lifestyle solves initial design questions of organized vs. wild, rustic vs. modern, ornamental vs. functional, entertaining for 4 or 40 people, and much more. Once these initial concepts are established then an intentional design style and placement of sentimental objects/plantings, furniture, and personal details becomes much easier. A design rooted in personal reflection leads to the most successful kind of garden.

Includes: A 45-minute presentation and 15-minute Q&A. Jackson may bring a few pieces of his imported Italian pottery and/or found objects to offer for sale after his talk (cash or check), and you're invited to stay for refreshments through 9:30 pm, when the event ends.

Speaker Bio: I have always had an affinity for drawing, for tools, for building things, and for plants and animals. Those five things have really shaped my life and relationships. While at Texas A&M for my degree in landscape architecture I studied abroad in Italy. I loved it so much that I ended up staying almost 2 years. I worked in the kitchen at the Italian school with my two little Italian moms cooking for 100 people twice a day. I also taught 4th-year design and architectural hand graphics while studying Italian gardens, furniture, design, and architecture and traveling extensively. It was an amazing time in my life, and some of my very best friends today came from that time.

After returning to Austin I went to work at Gardens. I started in the nursery, where I learned more about plants, merchandising, and display. I quickly moved to the construction side and built many of the complicated gates, furniture pieces, water features, and design elements. I started my own design-build firm, Sprout, a decade ago, focusing on garden design, found objects, terracotta imports, and construction. In 2018 I closed Sprout and opened JPB Design Studio to focus solely on garden and furniture design.  Jackson Broussard
