Friday, December 14, 1:30 pm – 2:30 pm – Quest for Resilience: Adaptive Strategies for Sustainable Plant Design Webinar

by

What do changing weather patterns mean with regard to how we design the landscape? In this Ecological Landscape Alliance webinar on December 14 from 1:30 – 2:30, Laura Hansplant will examine the concept of resilience with regard to landscape design.

Using a series of case studies and practical examples, she will discuss how we can replicate plant community dynamics and structure to foster robust and adaptable landscapes. She will also emphasize the importance of cultural expectations and their implications for ecologically-based planting design.

Laura Hansplant is a landscape architect and co-owner at Roofmeadow. Previously with Andropogon Associates, she has over 20 years’ experience in sustainable landscape design. She has worked on projects in a variety of locations ranging from Toronto to Virginia. Her current work explores dynamic approaches to planting design for urban landscapes.

You don’t need to bring anything out of the ordinary with you – we provide the flowers, vases, and tools you will need to create your arrangement.

A little information from FoMu: There are a lot of food trends and buzz words out there these days. Sure… we can say that we are “small batch,” “local,” and use nothing but the “best ingredients.” We could also talk about our commitment to sustainability, community, and food awareness. We wouldn’t be lying. But what makes [FoMu] Ice Cream really different? Peace of mind has always been our priority. From the ingredients we source, to the disposables that we use, we always try to make decisions that instill pride in everyone at FoMu; It is that same peace of mind that we hope to pass along to our fans.
