SUMMARY:Ecology-Based Landscapes: A Virtual Education Series
DESCRIPTION:NDAL is offering a series of programming organized in two categories: 1) Professional Practitioners and 2) Home Gardeners & Educators. \nTopics for professionals will range from native design and management\, to roof gardens\, to planning for the recruitment of spontaneous vegetation. \nHome gardeners can explore methods for wildflower meadow creation\, and school administrators & educators can learn about how to incorporate native gardening into their curriculum/campuses. \nJoin the room – virtually – for our Prairie-side Chat series as Larry Weaner interviews and compares notes with iconic practitioners Piet Oudolf\, Gerould Wilhelm\, Charles Birnbaum\, and Darrel Morrison. \nFor more information about all programs CLICK HERE

SUMMARY:LANDSCAPE LEARNING THREADS: OBSERVATION AND ANALYSIS INTO PRACTICE
DESCRIPTION:Long-term observation of a plant’s behavior in the wild can yield valuable insight into its likely behavior in a garden. If that insight is applied to other similar species\, that value is multiplied. In this presentation Larry and Ian will show how observation and ecologically-informed analysis shaped their understanding of how\, where\, and why wild indigenous species succeed or fail in cultivated settings. Finally\, they will informally discuss some of the pivotal projects\, conversations\, and realizations that transpired during their long-time landscape collaboration. \npresented by:  Ian Caton & Larry Weaner \n\n \n

SUMMARY:DISTILLING NATURE’S ESSENCE IN THE GARDEN
DESCRIPTION:Part One | Learning by Seeing – Arthur Joura \nWhat greater purpose does landscaping serve than keeping human beings attached to nature? For designers to achieve such a purpose\, it is most desirable for them to study the natural example\, and contemplate how it affects all of us. This is true whether the designed environment covers acres\nor\, as in the Bonsai tradition\, it can be held in two hands. This program features miniature living landscapes\, some depicting real places and some imaginary\, but all built upon the foundation of seeing the natural example. \nPart Two | Gardens in the Mind’s Eye – Patrick Chassé \nMany artists have explored new ways of looking at the world and expanded on traditional ways of expressing their ideas visually. In this presentation\, master designer Patrick Chassé will explore how landscape practitioners can find and use “parallel” ideas by other creative artists. He will also illustrate how art can help designers express these ideas to clients in ways that garden plans and renderings cannot equal.

SUMMARY:RESEARCH INTO LANDSCAPE
DESCRIPTION:Ecologists at universities\, professional societies\, and other scientific institutions commonly engage in research to better understand how plants operate in the wild. Unfortunately\, landscape designers rarely access the resulting data or use it to enhance their projects. In this presentation\, ecologist Stephen Handel and landscape designer Larry Weaner will present detailed case studies where research data was directly applied to the planted landscape. Examples will vary in scale from restoration to residential\, and illustrate the concrete benefits that can be derived when designers seek out information from the highly relevant world of ecological restoration.

SUMMARY:Grow Native! Webinar: Designing with Native Plants with Ronda Burnett
DESCRIPTION:Designing with Native Plants: Tips for Species Selection\, Design Concepts\, and Maintenance Practices\nThis webinar will cover the basics of selecting native plants for your next project. Design themes\, site programming\, and maintenance needs will be considered along with physical site conditions\, plant availability\, and green infrastructure services. An overview of art and design principles will be included to help the audience visualize how native plants can be used to achieve any look in the developed landscape.\nThe webinar\, to be held via Zoom\, will be 45 minutes including a question and answer session. The webinar will be recorded\, and sent to all registrants and posted to our YouTube channel.\nCost: Free\nRonda Burnett has been a Community Conservation Planner with the Missouri Department of Conservation since 2005. She helps communities connect to nature and enjoy the enhanced quality of life made possible by healthy fish\, forest\, and wildlife resources. She currently serves as the Chair of the Grow Native! committee. Ronda holds a Bachelor of Landscape Architecture from Louisiana State University and a Master of Urban\, Environmental\, and Land Use Planning from the University of Kansas.
