Abstract:

Asheville resident Dana Irwin’s garden was inspired by Jean Fragonard’s painting, The Swing. After purchasing the property in the 1990s, Irwin worked with a local landscaper to grow North Carolina wildflowers. As pathways were placed between the different beds, Irwin wanted to incorporate a swing into the outdoor area. Interested in Fragonard’s work, Irwin hired a local friend to design and build the swing.
