  • Friday, December 14, 1:30 pm – 2:30 pm – Quest for Resilience: Adaptive Strategies for Sustainable Plant Design Webinar

    What do changing weather patterns mean with regard to how we design the landscape? In this Ecological Landscape Alliance webinar on December 14 from 1:30 – 2:30, Laura Hansplant will examine the concept of resilience with regard to landscape design.

    Using a series of case studies and practical examples, she will discuss how we can replicate plant community dynamics and structure to foster robust and adaptable landscapes. She will also emphasize the importance of cultural expectations and their implications for ecologically-based planting design.

    Laura Hansplant is a landscape architect and co-owner at Roofmeadow. Previously with Andropogon Associates, she has over 20 years’ experience in sustainable landscape design. She has worked on projects in a variety of locations ranging from Toronto to Virginia. Her current work explores dynamic approaches to planting design for urban landscapes.
