Joanne is a
nationally and internationally acknowledged expert in the history and
development of gardens and garden design, from Ancient Egypt to the modern day.
Her body of lectures reflects the depth and diversity of her knowledge,
encompassing not only specific gardens and garden designers, but also the
defining styles across eras and continents – and the cross-influences that have
spread across the world as Empires rose and fell. They also reflect her passion
for the art, social and general history of these fascinating civilisations and
their times.
She is an
accredited lecturer for the National Association of Decorative and Fine Arts

and New Zealand. She has lectured at the National Gallery, on Cruise Ships, and
