In the second annual UBC Continuing Studies Garden Design Lecture, Andrea discusses her most recent work, which includes a wide range of project types and scales, from single family residences to hotels, wineries, affordable housing, schools, institutions and public parks. She explains how she infuses a sense of intimacy and strong attention to detail into each project.
