Without the ability to gather in Boston for Wreath Week, many members stayed put in their homes or vacation homes outside Back Bay, where there are more materials to forage. The wreath below was made in the Berkshires, with locally gathered greens, cones and branches, and a few items, no doubt, from the nursery. The bow, with its black and white checked lining, was one of our favorites from past seasons.
Join Ecological Landscape Alliance on February 23 & 24, 2022 for the 28th Conference & Eco-Marketplace – all online. We’ll energize your practice and prepare you for spring with two full days of research and field-tested expertise, as well as innovative case studies on a wide range of topics.
In our online conference space, you can pick and choose from presentations in multiple tracks. Move easily from presentation to presentation with a couple of clicks, and if you miss a presentation, you’ll have access to recordings after the conference.
The conference platform also lets you connect with exhibitors in their own conference spaces and network with colleagues and friends in rooms designated for that purpose. A short initial orientation and continuously available technical assistance help support a positive conference experience.
