Green Matters Symposium - The New American Landscape

Leslie McDermott, Neighbor

Green Matters will focus on the next chapter of American horticulture and the emphasis on sustainability that will drive landscape design in the coming decades. Sustainability has entered the mainstream. We see it associated with our food, building materials, and even the Olympics, but what does it really mean and how does it apply to landscape design? Join Keynote speaker, Heather Venhaus as she examines the broad issue of site sustainability and discusses the potential of small-scale sites and residential landscapes to improve ecosystem function and benefit human health and well-being. Heather will explore trends in sustainable design and provide
guidance for becoming a leader in the green building movement.  COURSE # 212968.


Happy Hour available immediately after the Symposium for just $15; registration req at www.ParkPASS.org; COURSE # 224799.
