SUMMARY:GreenScapes Symposium
DESCRIPTION:ntegrating Ecology\, Beauty and Adaptability in Design\nX \nFriday\, February 13\, 2026\, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. EST \n*Live Zoom Event \nX \nThriving landscapes that support wildlife\, enhance biodiversity\, and respond to environmental challenges require thoughtful design and tested practices. This engaging symposium brings together experts in horticulture\, ecology\, and design to share solutions that work—from small gardens to large public landscapes. \nLearn how native keystone plants and layered “soft landings” can support pollinators from canopy to ground\, and explore regenerative approaches that blend beauty\, function\, and biodiversity in every setting. Through illustrative real-world case studies\, you’ll discover how dynamic\, naturalistic plantings can adapt and thrive\, and how climate-resilient and diverse plant palettes can strengthen ecosystems in both urban and suburban environments. \nAttendees will gain practical tools for plant selection\, soil preparation\, and habitat design\, along with proven strategies for creating landscapes that actively support wildlife and the environment. Whether you’re tending a home garden or shaping public spaces\, this symposium provides the knowledge and solutions to design with purpose—and with the future in mind. \nLearn how native keystone plants and layered “soft landings” can support nments. \n*This will be offered as a series of live online lectures using Zoom with audience Q&A incorporated into the program.
