Thursday, July 25, 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm Eastern – Shrouded in Light: Naturalistic Planting Inspired by Wild Shrublands, Online

Shrublands exist all around us, thriving in almost any environmental condition, from the desiccating sunshine of the endless sagebrush steppe to the deep, private shade of moist forests. These diverse and inspiring ecosystems serve as perfect models for our gardens. Beyond their inherent beauty, they provide nurturing habitats and demonstrate resilience in the face of a changing climate.

Join Kevin Philip Williams, Michael Guidi, and Lisa Negri, the authors of Shrouded in Light as they invite you to work, live, and play with shrubs. Explore a glorious spectrum of wild shrublands and discover the philosophies and design strategies behind translating these magnificent plant communities into your home garden.

This Garden Conservancy webinar will be convened by Open Days Garden Host Lisa Negri of Denver, CO. A recording of this webinar will be sent to all registrants a few days after the event. We encourage you to register, even if you cannot attend the live webinar. $5 for Garden Conservancy members, $15 for nonmembers.
