Landscape Lessons Learned: The Educational Value of "Mistakes"
Start Date
07/19/2022
End Date

Description
An old horticultural adage, “You don’t really know a plant until you’ve killed it,” suggests
that gardeners can learn as much from their mistakes as their successes. In 1982, when
Larry founded his landscape design-build firm, little practical guidance was available
for translating landscape ecology into designed environments. Consequently, the need
to experiment was instrumental in developing some of the protocols that guide his
practice today. But as is the way with experiments, not all yielded the expected result.
In this session Larry will show how these wayward experiments led to more effective
protocols. His presentation will help attendees to skip over the “experimental” and
proceed directly to the “proven.” He will also illustrate how to insert small experiments
into landscape projects, allowing the learning process to continue indefinitely.
