2026 Elements of Photography: Gardens & the Great Outdoors
Saturday, June 13, 2026 | 10:00 a.m. - 3:30 p.m.
Lexington photographer Carol Peachee has photographed Pleasant Hill for more than four decades, capturing unique and intimate views of this iconic Shaker community. In 2024, her work was published by The University Press of Kentucky as Shaker Made: Inside Pleasant Hill's Shaker Village. Join Carol at Shaker Village for a special series of hands-on photography workshops in 2026.
The Shakers of Pleasant Hill cultivated extensive gardens, planted trees, erected stone fences, and left their imprint on the central Kentucky landscape. Today, Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill continues this rich agricultural tradition through our modern, working farm. Participants will explore Shaker Village's rich natural and cultural landscapes under Carol's direction, learning to compose the perfect photograph of the great outdoors.
