SUMMARY:Ecology-based Design and Organic Practice
DESCRIPTION: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 woodland glades that stretch from the property borders to the museum buildings. This organically planted and maintained landscape illustrates how landscape architects (Peter Walker Partners)\, 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. \nThis course will be held both indoors and outdoors and includes light breakfast\, lunch\, and refreshments. Check-in and breakfast begin at 8:30am. Registration closes 9/12/25. \nThis NDAL course is available to AOLCPs at a 10% discount and can be used toward this year’s CEU requirement. AOLCPs may email us for the discount code. \nClick here to register for the course and then click the “Have a coupon?” link (beneath the price total) to apply the discount code.\n\nInstructor Information\nTrevor Garbow is Deputy Landscape Superintendent of Glenstone Museum. Trevor’s transition from golf course management to native meadows exemplifies his commitment to sustainable practices and his aspiration to make a meaningful difference in the environment. With a strong focus on organic landscape management and the integration of native plants\, Trevor and his team are not only creating visually stunning spaces but also setting a remarkable precedent for others to embrace environmentally responsible approaches to landscaping. Their dedication contributes to the overall vitality and harmony of the environment\, leaving a positive impact on the local ecosystem and the broader community. \nMatt Partain oversees an organic planting and management program over nearly 300 acres of native landscape and restoration areas at the Glenstone Museum in Potomac\, MD. He is a graduate of the University of Georgia in Landscape Management. Matt has presented at 2022 ASLA Conference on Landscape Architecture\, 2020 NDAL Symposium\, 2020 Mt Cuba Educational Series\, and to multiple garden clubs. He has also taught classes for the Federation of Garden Clubs Landscape Design School. \nLarry Weaner\, FAPLD\, founded Larry Weaner Landscape Associates in 1982 and New Directions in the American Landscape in 1990. His nationally recognized work combines horticulture\, landscape design\, and ecological restoration\, and spans more than twenty U.S. states and the U.K. He has been profiled in national publications. His book\, Garden Revolution: How Our Landscapes Can Be a Source of Environmental Change (Timber Press\, 2016) received an American Horticultural Society (AHS) Book Award in 2017. In 2021 he received the AHS “Landscape Design Award” and the Association of Professional Landscape Designers (APLD) “Award of Distinction.”
