LECTURE: Your Garden’s Purpose: Gardening for Joy and Ecological Intention

We garden for joy and beauty. The ever-changing tapestry of blooms, textures, and colors delights the senses.  But a garden’s purpose can reach further—supporting nature and cultivating a healthier ecology for all.

Through examples from gardens we've designed, built, and nurtured, we’ll explore five essential principles to increase the ecological value of your garden.

In this image-rich talk, you’ll discover how uncommon and native plants can work together to create vibrant, resilient landscapes that are not only stunning, but also support pollinators, birds, and living soil. 

Come be inspired to deepen your garden’s purpose—growing a space that brings joy, fosters connection, and makes a meaningful impact just beyond your door.
