Cultivating Place: A Conversation With California Landscape Designer Bernard Trainor

This week on Cultivating Place, the program’s conversations begin with Bernard Trainor, the Australian-born landscape designer. Known for his iconic California gardens, Trainor is both a hands-on gardener and a big view, large concept designer. His philosophy and work illustrate the power of specific place in any garden or cultivated landscape — no matter how big or small, urban or rural.

When people and place are in harmony, that's when a garden is beautiful. -Bernard Trainor
