Doors open at 7pm • Tickets at the door for non-members $12
Steve Lorton is dedicated to the preservation of our language, at war with all the superficial communications and the dumbing-down of our times and our ability to think conceptually. Join a great story teller for a fun evening that will explore wonders of our Pacific Northwest in a new light with some enticing thoughts of how our gardens are represented on the world horticultural stage.
Steve Lorton was Sunset Magazine’s Northwest Editor from 1972 to 1990, then based with Time/Warner until 2005, working with projects in print and broadcast as Northwest Bureau Chief: 33 years total (he started when he was 10).
When asked about his bio, Steve responded, “I’ve written Gardening, Travel, Architecture and Food, appeared on all the major networks as a garden presenter, I’m movie star handsome and highly intelligent. You don’t need to mention that, they’ll figure it out. Get this: I’m the only person you will likely ever know who was picked-up and held by Harry Truman. This is true. I’ve met zillions of famous people, published thousands of stories (I really have) and frankly, I don’t care about any of that. There’s some stuff on Google if you are interested. My main interests in life are my son and his family, my garden, my dog, my friends, travel and reading. I have ten acres, a house, and a woefully neglected garden in the Upper Skagit Valley, just off the North Cascades Highway.” Sounds like an fun evening ahead!
