Taking its inspiration from the Slow Food movement, Slow Landscaping seeks to counteract fast or instant landscaping, by showing the way to more fulfilling, equitable, and sustainable landscape practices. This approach to landscaping human settlements mimics the relationships found in natural ecologies. It seeks to preserve native plants, associated ecosystems and wildlife within an ecoregion. It also supports the use of local materials, reducing waste and carbon outputs and education about plants and their importance in the larger environment. Join two veteran garden designers, Hasso Ewing and Robin Wilkerson, to explore this novel concept and then walk the Garden in the Woods to see how these practices can play out on the landscape.  Sponsored by The New England Wild Flower Society, the class will take place at Garden in the Woods on Wednesday, April 28, from 10 – 1, and members of NEWFS will pay $33, nonmembers $39.  Log on to www.newfs.org to register, or for more information.
