Ecology-based Design and Organic Practice at Glenstone Museum, Potomac, MD | In-person

The landscape at Glenstone, a newly-constructed, contemporary art museum in Potomac, Maryland, received the ASLA Honor Award in 2019. The property contains 90 acres of planted meadows, shrub thickets, and reforestation that stretch from the property borders to the museum buildings. This organically planted and maintained landscape illustrates how landscape architects (PWP Landscape Architecture), native plant consultants (Larry Weaner Landscape Associates), and an in-house management team can collaborate in the service of ecology, art, and a stimulating visitor experience. Our day will combine classroom instruction with a heavy dose of field observation to illustrate how this landscape went from landscape plans to vibrant reality.

In Partnership with the Place: Site-Specific Native Design, New England-Style | NDAL In the Field at New England Botanic Garden at Tower Hill | Boylston, MA | In-person

Uncovering the often-hidden vegetative characteristics of a site can help designers enhance botanic diversity, while curating inspirational places that elicit a true sense of place. This full day session will include classroom presentations and field exploration of both meadow and woodland landscapes. Presenters, including designer Larry Weaner and ecologist/horticulturist Steven Conaway, PhD, will show how deep site analysis can help designers recognize and incorporate a site’s inherent inclinations - be it for a restoration, a garden, or a blend of the two.
