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.

SUMMARY:GreenScapes Symposium: Designing with Purpose (online)
DESCRIPTION:Whether a gardener living in the suburbs or a landscape architect developing commercial projects\, we all design with specific purposes in mind. This symposium will offer design strategies to achieve a range of goals\, from public gardens that engage diverse audiences to landscapes that reduce carbon footprints and are resilient to climate change. Speakers will also explore innovative design and maintenance practices that bring visual order to naturalistic gardens and make them more palatable to neighbors and HOAs. Though these landscape goals may seem unrelated\, they can all be achieved by selecting the right building materials\, understanding plant communities\, and leveraging creative plant combinations. \nFeatured topics and speakers include:\n• Quest for Climate Resiliency: Adaptive Strategies for Sustainable Plant Design – Laura Hansplant\, landscape architect and co-owner at Studio Sustena\n• On This Land: Connecting Minority Communities to the Natural World\nVeronica Tyson-Strait\, landscape designer\, educator\, artist and Horticulture Manager at Randall’s Island Park Alliance\n• Unlawning Suburbia: Lessons in the Design and Management of Nature-Inspired Landscapes – Benjamin Vogt\, Author & Owner\, Monarch Gardens\n• Soak it up: Carbon Sequestering Sites – Pamela Conrad\, landscape architect\, founder of Climate Positive Design\, and current Loeb Fellow\, Harvard Graduate School of Design \n5 CBLP CEUs

SUMMARY:GreenScapes Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Advancing the Natural Landscape in a Modern World – Solutions for Sites & Situations\nFriday\, February 18\, 2022\n9:15 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET\n*Live Zoom event\nGardening for wildlife and designing landscapes that mimic nature are being embraced by homeowners and design professionals alike. But leveraging native plants for specific environments and design outcomes can often be challenging. Obstacles can range from tough site conditions to urban gardens with limited space for creating beneficial ecosystems. How can we protect the function and structure of the natural ecology by substituting natives for invasive species? Learn exciting and novel uses of plants\, planting design\, and application of ecological principles to overcome these roadblocks and achieve high-impact\, environmentally sustainable designs. \n***This will be offered as a series of live online lectures using Zoom with audience Q&A incorporated into the program. Each session will be recorded and a link to watch the symposium will be emailed to all participants.\n5 CBLP CEUs

SUMMARY:GreenScapes (formerly Green Matters) Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Back to Our Roots: Leveraging Native Plants to Restore the Environment *Live virtual event\nYears of rapid urbanization have fragmented natural habitats with manicured lawns and barren over-development leading to significant declines in biodiversity. How can you reverse this alarming trend? Join us for a fascinating day of innovative presentations that dig deep into how native plants can restore natural ecosystems in a range of landscapes\, from backyards and public gardens to urban and commercial projects. \nExperts will tackle the native vs. non-native plant debate: Is a native plant-only prescription necessary? Under what conditions should non-native plants be incorporated\, and what are the risks of using cultivars? Join the conversation as experts assess the scope of environmental benefits that native ecosystems create\, such as decreasing pollution and fighting climate change. \nWe’ll explore the latest strategies to combat pollinator population collapse\, considering key factors like pollination syndromes\, specialist pollinators\, plant genetics and floral balance. Speakers will demonstrate the latest tools to assess the sustainability of sites\, including best practices for evidence-based designs that maximize the ecological\, social and economic benefits of native landscapes. \nDoug Tallamy is the keynote speaker. \nCBLP CEUs are available \n

SUMMARY:Green Matters Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Practical Solutions For Ecologically Sustainable Landscapes\nThis symposium will offer practical solutions to help shift the focus of gardening and landscape design away from merely aesthetics and towards creating and managing sustainable landscapes. Industry experts will explore how native plants can be incorporated into our landscapes while realizing the ecological benefits through plant community-based design strategies. Attendees will learn ecological gardening and maintenance practices that lead to a “greener” and more resilient garden. Case studies will shed light on how to minimize the environmental impact of humanmade landscapes ranging from home gardens to commercial projects. \n  \n5 CBLP CEUs will be available.
