Join Kate Brittenham of Front Stoop Gardens for a three-hour workshop on designing landscapes using ecological principles and native plant species. Learn how to create resilient, biodiverse, and low-maintenance landscapes that support local ecosystems.

Participants will explore native plant selection with the help of curated handouts and guidance on choosing species suited to specific site conditions. The workshop includes hands-on design exercises, such as sketching scaled landscape plans to map plant spacing, structure, and layering. Through interactive activities, you'll learn how to tailor your design to factors like sunlight, soil type, and water availability.

This one-hour lecture, followed by a two-hour hands-on workshop will equip you with the skills to create a beautiful, functional landscape that thrives naturally.
