The news is rife with reports on the harmful effects of environmental degradation and climate change; however, we all can be part of the solution! Designing with native plants to create sustainable landscapes can be instrumental in mitigating threats to wildlife and the environment. Unfortunately, we’re faced with a deficit of nursery sources, limited plant selections, and a lack of information to make decisions maximizing long-term success and benefits of our designed landscapes. Harsh conditions resulting from our rapidly changing climate place new burdens on all landscapes – home and commercial – often leading to design failure and loss of plants.
Join us for a fascinating day of presentations offering practical strategies to create sustainable landscapes. You’ll benefit from decision matrixes that help make informed plant selections and develop successful designs based on a range of environments, ecological benefits, and sustainability goals. Experts will help you create resilient landscapes by presenting a range of native planst combinations and design layouts that manage water runoff, survive droughts, and support pollinators and wildlife. You’ll be surprised how climate change is dictating conservation efforts, its impact on native plant ecoregions and even its implications for expanding our plant palette.
