View event website »Virtual Class Held by New Directions in The American Landscape: Native Edible and Medicinal Plants in the “Wild-Designed” Landscape
Event Sponsor
Native edible and medicinal plants can be integrated into landscape gardens and ecological restorations to create habitats that support both people and their local ecosystems. We’ll consider a habitat-based approach to stewarding edible and medicinal plants that translates to home landscapes, parks, and farms. Field botanist, native plant grower, and restoration practitioner Jared Rosenbaum asks whether we can honor native ecosystems and cultural lifeways as we restore habitats that support people, other animals, and native plants alike. Held by New Directions in The American Landscape.

Together, flowering plants and flower-visiting insects make up a third of the Earth’s species. In this talk, we will trace the relationship between flowers and insects from the primordial forests of the Cretaceous to your backyard garden. Along the way, we will discuss the limitations and potential of gardens as pollinator habitat, and we will explore how gardening might be reimagined as a cooperative, landscape-scale practice that could change the ecological meaning of cities and suburbs. Held by New Directions in The American Landscape.
