Lawn alternatives, reforestation, and habitat creation – these and other responses to new environmental priorities have only recently become prominent. Consequently, design protocols are sparse, and not well tested by time. This conference features designers, growers and ecologists whose long experience with native plants can shed light on the real world challenges of environmental design.         

Featured speakers include:     

·        Larry Weaner, Principal of Larry Weaner Landscape Associates, will discuss some of the miscalculations and oversights that were instrumental in developing his current approach to garden creation.

·         Dr. Eric Sanderson, Founder and Director of the Manhatta Project, recently featured in National Geographic Magazine, has investigated what the landscape of Manhattan was like before European civilization and what that means for creating landscapes today.

·         Dr. James R. Ault, Director of Environmental Horticulture at the Chicago Botanic Garden, will discuss cultivars and selections of native perennials based on extensive trials over many years at CBG.
