Incorporating science into landscape design is of little use if the resulting plantings are not harmonious to the people who engage with them, and are not in tune with the animals that depend on them. In this virtual symposium we will explore how scientific research can lead to tangible approaches for a new landscape tradition - one where ecological, anthropological, and sociological considerations expand the scope of landscape design.

This program is geared toward the Mid-Atlantic and New England regions.

Approved CEUs: APLD, ASLA/LACES, Chesapeake Conservation Landscaping Council, ISA, NOFA, PNLA

Piet Oudolf has revolutionized the way perennial gardens are designed and viewed in landscapes today. With a new planting style and meticulous attention to the plants, Oudolf has forged the ability to break the rules when his eye finds it necessary to do so. Since 1982, he has lived and worked in Hummelo, in east Netherlands, where he started a perennial nursery with his wife, Anja. Some of Oudolf's most influential works in the US include the perennial plantings at Battery Park, The Highline perennial plantings, and Goldman Sachs headquarters.
