Join Cassandra C. Jones, Artist and Arts Chair of our Residency Program at Taft, for a unique look at the property from a creative perspective. Jones will guide guests through the South African and Australian Gardens to the art studios to meet the artists-in-residence and see what they are working on. She will offer an oral history of Taft, point out Fibonacci patterns in plants, tell stories about botanicals in bloom, and show how the space inspires regional artists. This walking tour would benefit anyone interested in local history, patterns in nature, unusual plants, and contemporary art.
