Additional Information: 

A life-long passion for literature and historic gardens led CeCe to Rome in 2007. As a Visiting Scholar at the American Academy in Rome, she researched Edith Wharton and Roman villas, which led to her first lecture for the Edith Wharton Society in 2008. Two years later, she visited 25 gardens in and around Paris to prepare for her Philadelphia Flower Show lecture.  She has written and lectured on historic Italian, French, and American gardens from Maine to Florida  and New York to California.  In addition, she lectures on landscape sustainability “Beyond Turfgrass: Sustainability and Landscape Design”.
