Description
Given the dramatic shift towards ecologically-driven landscapes, how do we shift the narrative of landscape design from construction and maintenance to cultivation and stewardship? How do we make space for habitat in landscapes close to home? How do we cultivate new practices and knowledge that can transform the meaning of a garden? Join planting designer, artist, and thought leader Kelly Norris for this vibrant exploration of his recent and future work at the intersections of horticulture and ecology. His presentation will explore various projects, their narratives, plant palettes, and the relative success or progress of each project to date with a preview of new developments in the seasons ahead.
