Ian Caton & Larry Weaner
In this session native plant authority, Ian Caton, will examine some of the native species that exemplify the ecological characteristics described in the previous sessions, and illustrate how this information can inform the process of selecting and arranging individual plants. He will also present a group of ‘workhorse species’ that combine reliability and weed suppression with attractive aesthetic character. Larry and Ian will then engage attendees in a conversation that explores their shared experiences and answer attendee questions. Larry will conclude by describing the heightened experience that an interactive relationship between people and plants can engender for both designers and their clients.
Attendees will receive login-protected access to an extensive course manual including plant lists, an ecology-based plant characteristics chart, equipment recommendations, wildlife habitat enhancement strategies, diagrams for planting and maintenance procedures, and more.
Note: If attending individual sessions only, Day 1 is a “recommended” prerequisite to Days 2, 3, 4, & 5.
Applicable Regions: Eastern and Midwestern US (Florida excluded).
Note: This course will have some repeated information from previous intensive design short courses.
