"Beyond Bold: Inspiration, Collaboration, Evolution" with Eric Groft

Groft is one of the principals of Oehme, van Sweden, a landscape architecture firm that has been creating extraordinary outdoor spaces for nearly fifty years, from the expansive Tippet Rise Art Center in rural Montana to urban oases like the Chicago and New York Botanical Gardens. Among an impressive list of commissions and projects, Groft’s federal work includes the 2020 renovation of the White House Rose Garden, which today features universal accessibility, critical upgrades to irrigation and drainage, and state-of-the-art electrical infrastructure for lighting and media technology. An expanded palette includes 200 additional rose bushes and a diverse selection of perennials.
