  • Friday, January 19, 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm Eastern – New Nature for a Climate Change Future

    The American Horticultural Society invites you to hear a virtual presentation on January 19 at 2 pm Eastern with Noel Kingsbury, PhD, author and garden designer, on New Nature for a Climate Change Future.

    In a world of dramatically changing climate, garden and landscape design must conserve biodiversity as well as provide habitat for humans. Renowned author and garden designer Noel Kingsbury will guide participants in discovering models and approaches to accomplish these gardening goals. We will look at the range of nature-inspired planting created in recent years, captured in powerful images by leading photographer Claire Takacs, while examining how and why these designs and plant choices support nature.

    Noel Kingsbury is an internationally known innovator, writer, and teacher in the fields of gardening and planting design. His doctoral scholarship analyzes the long-term performance of perennials, which he continues to research and disseminate in practitioner workshops. Kingsbury has published 25 books, including New Perennial Design that launched a movement in naturalistic planting design, and four publications with Dutch designer Piet Oudolf.

  • Wednesday, June 8, 3:00 pm – 4:00 pm – Wild By Nature, Online

    Planting design today is undergoing a revolution. With an increased focus on sustainability, private gardens and public spaces alike have embraced naturalistic planting, a movement that is rooted in environmental reality and prioritizes ethical concerns over geometric precision. Using breathtaking images from their new book, Wild: The Naturalistic Garden, renowned garden designer Noel Kingsbury and award-winning photographer Claire Takacs will explore a range of forward-thinking green spaces that are wild by nature, including iconic, high-profile public projects by Piet Oudolf and Bernard Trainor, privately owned gardens, and NYBG’s Native Plant Garden. The lecture is $25 for New York Botanical Garden members, $29 for nonmembers.

    Purchase a copy of Wild: The Naturalistic Garden along with your ticket for 10% off the retail price + free shipping. If you would like to receive the book in time for the event on June 8, please purchase your ticket/book by Monday, May 23.
