Wednesday, October 18, 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm Eastern – Designing with Nature, Online

Landscape design inspiration begins with observation of diverse natural settings, systems, and functions. We can learn from landscapes such as layered woodlands, succession meadows, and oceanside areas to address a spectrum of gardening conditions. Together we will learn how to partner with natural systems for healthy, beautiful landscapes; mimic nature’s processes in our own gardens; and make ecologically sound plant choices that will attract pollinators throughout the seasons. Join the American Horticultural Association’s Lifelong Learning program on Wednesday, October 18 at 7 pm Eastern online to hear Marie Chieppo speak of these issues. $10 AHS members, $15 nonmembers.
