Today is a day of cleaning up, or traveling, or sleeping in. Yesterday’s dishes may still be in the sink, and the holiday wrap and boxes will sit in your house until the next recycling day. Today’s wreath, however, will last well into January, with sturdy materials and a universal color scheme.
The Ecological Landscaping Association and the New England Wild Flower Society will co-sponsor Irrigation Tips for Landscape Designers on Tuesday, January 7, from 9 – 11 (snow date Wednesday January 8), a panel discussion lead by Theresa Sprague and Trevor Smith, at Garden in the Woods in Framingham. $20 for ELA and NEWFS members, $25 for nonmembers.
The goal of most irrigation systems is to produce healthy landscapes while conserving water. For landscape designers to achieve this goal, irrigation systems need to be well designed. This panel discussion will held you understand the basics of irrigation systems in order to improve communication with irrigation contractors. For more information email ela.info@comcast.net, or call 617-436-5838. Theresa Sprague is the owner of BlueFlax Design in Mattapoisett, where she focuses on merging science with the fine art of landscape design. She holds a Masters Degree from the Conway School of Landscape Design and is currently ELA’s Vice President. Trevor Smith is owner of Land Escapes, a full service ecological landscaping company in the Boston area. He is currently ELA’s President.
