Managing Native Landscapes: Planted & Naturally Occurring
Learn about ecological process-based landscape management procedures for natural areas (woods, meadows, shrub thicket), naturalistic gardens, and lawn alternative groundcovers. The program will also include guidance for establishing landscape goals, specifying short-term procedures to achieve them, as well as long-term management practices to be initiated once those goals have been reached.

All too often in our gardens and landscapes we think of static compositions of carefully placed and managed plants. But our approach can be more dynamic—and arguably more rewarding—than that by taking advantage of plants’ natural abilities to reproduce and proliferate. Learn how designer Larry Weaner combines design with the reproductive abilities of plants as well as ecological processes to create compelling, ever-evolving landscapes that bring new meaning to partnering with nature. Using examples from his own property as well as diverse client projects, Larry will share how this give-and-take approach can result in compelling, low-maintenance landscapes that free plants to perform according to their natural abilities and liberate people from having to cater to their landscapes’ every need.
