Garden Ecology Ohio-style: Design to Field, in-person at The Holden Arboretum
Date: 8/29/2024 - 8/30/2024
Description: Many decades ago, The Holden Arboretum, New Directions in the American Landscape (NDAL), and designer Larry Weaner began to combine ecological science, horticulture, and fine garden design – and few cared. Since then, their work has influenced countless projects from prairie, shrubland and woodland restorations, to fine gardens that incorporate the functions and feel of both – and now, many care. Through in-depth classroom sessions and interpretive field explorations, our instructors will connect theory with practice and share their insights on many years of landscape action, observation, analysis, and good old common sense.
