About this Event
With increasing pressures from invasive species and degraded natural landscapes, it has become a priority to ensure designed plantings are beautiful, resilient, and ecologically rich. Home gardeners have the opportunity to aide in rebuilding local ecosystems but often the task can feel overwhelming without a guide. Landscape architect Emilie Carter will share horticultural wisdom, design techniques and field-based outcomes that her landscape architecture firm, Phyto Studio, uses to address these challenges and create diverse and vibrant plantings. In this talk, Emilie is going to break down basic elements of ecological horticulture, discuss why it is important on a local scale and will give you some ideas - and plant species - to incorporate in the next season of your garden.
What to expect: A lecture-style talk.
Who can come: This program is designed for adult audiences.
Where to meet: Meet at the Blandy library in the Quarters building. Signs will direct you from the front parking lot near the flagpole and information kiosk to the library.
