Tuesday, November 28, 12:00 noon – 1:15 pm Eastern – The Bridge Between Horticulture and the Environment, Online
Horticulture is going through a revolution, as our fragile environment becomes increasingly in need of our care. The observation and analysis that is so embedded in this process, and the craftsmanship of tending for a garden, are perfect gateways to thinking about the neglected and overused places beyond the garden. Dan Pearson, whose painterly-natural landscapes are renowned in Britain and beyond, will demonstrate how landscape design can be the medium that brings together the worlds of nature, agriculture, and garden. This NDAL webinar will take place November 28 at noon, but the session will be recorded and available to registrants for 3 months following the live presentation. $42.
