August 4, 2026 — “The Machine in the Garden”
Nature (from its original form in wilderness and forests to its modern embodiment in cultivation and gardens) has been continuously invaded and corrupted by man’s unnatural creations - machines. Since we are able to romanticize machines and think of them as beautiful in their own way, we ought to be able to reconcile that apparent opposition and find harmony between the natural and the man-made. Presented by Pocasset resident, James Beyer, a retired architect.
