Virtual Class by New Directions in The American Landscape: Every Garden is an Intervention – Rejecting the Eco-Purity Pledge and Embracing Compromise to Foster Resilience

Event Sponsor

Every garden, no matter how small, is a human intervention in an ecological system. The more we understand that system, the more effectively we can balance ecological resilience with human functional needs and garden design principles. We will review case studies of landscape projects in suburban Boston and Cambridge, MA, alongside systems theory, to explore how to create beautiful, ecologically vibrant gardens on small-scale residential properties. Held by New Directions in the American Landscape.

Virtual Class by New Directions in The American Landscape: Mini Meadow Making

Event Sponsor

With as little as a few square feet of space, you can grow a beautiful, low-maintenance, naturalistic meadow that supports a diversity of plants, pollinators, and a plethora of other living things – not to mention its visual appeal in your home garden. Find inspiration in natural spaces so you can successfully site, design, plant, and care for your own mini meadow. From site preparation and plant selection, to designing and planting, you’ll learn how to go from a bare canvas to a bright, flower-filled mini meadow, even with minimal gardening experience – including advice on how to care for your wildflower planting for many colorful seasons to come. Held by New Directions in the American Landscape.
