Frequently, the side tangents that presenters don’t have time to explore are as enlightening as their core material. In this New Directions in the American Landscape online session, landscape designer Larry Weaner will conduct an informal interview, conversation, and “note comparing” session with landscape architect Thomas Woltz (pictured below). Given his education in the fields of architecture, landscape architecture, fine arts, and architectural history, it is not surprising that Thomas takes a broad approach to designing landscapes. Throw in a love of “working lands’’ and “wild places” derived from growing up on a North Carolina farm and you have an individual who defines landscape architecture much more expansively than most. In this March 9 session we will explore the many paths that intersect at Nelson Byrd Woltz, a firm that received 11 ASLA awards in 2020 alone. Cosponsored by Wild Ones – Native Plants, Natural Landscapes, the American Horticultural Society, and the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center. $45. Register at www.ndal.org.
