SUMMARY:Lewis Ginter Winter Symposium (virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Building Plant Diversity Builds Resilient Landscapes \nOver the past 15 years\, a growing body of scientific research has enabled proponents of diverse plant selections and plant communities to re-think the urban landscape in terms of true sustainability. Ongoing research has shaped the work of cutting-edge landscape professionals in creating plant communities\, outlining the value of native plants\, and rethinking our concepts of “garden\,” “landscape\,” and even “city.” \nIn an era of disappearing habitat and climate change\, we know that we ignore to our peril the relationships between plants\, insects\, animals and of life on our planet. \nJoin us virtually as we explore the burgeoning opportunities to make solid connections to ways to expand our understanding of connectivity.  This is an online webinar conducted via Zoom.  Zoom links will be emailed to registered participants a few days prior to the event. \nWEDNESDAY\, FEBRUARY 9\, 2022\nDan Ryan\, The Eden Project\, Cornwall\, England \nRebecca McMackin\, Director of Horticulture\, Brooklyn Bridge Park \nSam Hoadley\, Mt.

SUMMARY:Lewis Ginter Winter Symposium (virtual)
DESCRIPTION:As we move past a year full of challenges most of us never imagined\, we turn to nature for solace\, beauty and inspiration. More than ever\, working the earth connects us to our fundamental nature and reinforces the importance of learning to work with the land and natural processes to enhance our environment and support a fragile and interconnected ecosystem. \nThis year\, we present a virtual opportunity to gather and learn from a roster of remarkable garden and design experts. Join us for this three-day symposium to spark your creativity and stretch your imagination in time for the spring season of renewal and hope. \nWhile we cannot offer the joy of reconnecting to old and new friends in person\, you’ll find inspiration\, beauty and practical advice. A bargain at half the price of past in-person programs\, this affordable symposium offers an inclusive opportunity to share our speakers’ information and insights. \nUp to 8 CBLP CEUs are available.

SUMMARY:Lewis Ginter Winter Symposium & CVNLA Short Course
DESCRIPTION:Remember how you felt the first time you encountered that beautiful plant that now is your always recommended favorite? What plants\, when displayed together\, make your heart beat faster and always stun you with their four seasons of unrivaled beauty? Where do you turn for that purposeful palette of form\, texture\, color\, and function—plants that also provide a full range of ecological benefits in a restorative landscape? On Wednesday and Thursday of this annual symposium\, explore with green industry colleagues ideas about how we bring plants together to create more purposeful designs that deliver ecologically sensitive and sublimely beautiful environments. \nUp to 6 CBLP CEUs are available for the conference.
