SUMMARY:AHS Live: Behind-the-Scenes Tour: Headwaters at the Comal
DESCRIPTION:The Headwaters at the Comal sits at a remarkable moment in its transformation\, and visitors on this tour will experience all three chapters of its story firsthand. The journey begins in the recently completed past: a former industrial hardscape now reimagined as a Low Impact Development parking lot and entrance garden\, where native plants\, rain gardens\, and swales intercept and treat stormwater before it ever reaches the Comal River watershed. The tour then moves into the living present. The approximately quarter mile trail walk winds through established landscape born from a major 2016-2017 restoration that diverted over 12\,000 pounds of pollutants from the Comal’s headwater spring run and has since matured into a thriving corridor of biodiversity offering rare refuge for native species in a region where natural habitat is rapidly disappearing. Finally\, the group will witness the future taking shape in real time: the ongoing removal of remaining asphalt and impervious cover\, and the conversion of existing structures into interpretive nature centers for the community. This is restoration not as a finished product\, but as a living process and this tour offers a front-row seat. \n$50 AHS members/$60 non-members\nAll tours are listed in location’s timezone\nRegister Here

SUMMARY:AHS LIVE: Shrublands of the American West
DESCRIPTION:Shrublands exist all around us\, thriving in almost any environmental condition\, from the desiccating sunshine of the endless sagebrush steppe to the deep\, private shade of moist forests. These diverse and inspiring ecosystems serve as perfect models for our gardens. Beyond their inherent beauty\, they provide nurturing habitats\, demonstrate resilience in the face of a changing climate\, and offer a challenge to conventional garden-making through their intense aesthetics and obscured intentions. Join coauthor Michael Guidi of Shrouded in Light: Naturalistic Planting Inspired by Wild Shrublands to explore a glorious spectrum of wild shrublands and discover the philosophies and design strategies for bringing these magnificent plant communities into your home garden. \nMichael Guidi is the Manager of Horticulture Research Programs at Denver Botanic Gardens\, where he integrates scientific research\, ecological theory\, and practical horticulture to promote resilient plant choices and landscape strategies. His work spans a wide range of topics\, including plant breeding\, plant tissue culture\, direct-seeded vegetation\, and green infrastructure. An advocate for dynamic\, self-sustaining gardens\, he demonstrates how thoughtful planting design can enhance biodiversity\, bolster ecological resilience\, and improve human well-being. In 2024\, he coauthored Shrouded in Light: Naturalistic Plantings Inspired by Wild Shrublands\, a book that explores the biology\, philosophical foundations\, and landscape potential of shrubland habitats worldwide. Michael holds a master’s degree in Ecology from Colorado State University. \nVirtual\n$15 AHS members/$20 non-members\nAll virtual programs are in ET\nRegister Here
