Presenter: Larry Weaner, FAPLD


In nature, plants spend millenia evolving strategies to more efficiently procreate. In the garden, we arrest that procreation by weeding virtually every individual that we didn’t plant. Over the last 40 years Larry Weaner has learned to plan for and “edit” spontaneous vegetation within his designed landscapes. Much of these landscapes’ ecological value, reduced management requirements, and experiential dynamism have resulted from this approach, a skill that was largely honed on large properties. Here however, Larry will refocus on the small residential landscape, exploring the practical, ecological, and experiential benefits that loosening the vegetative reigns can provide…even where space is tight and neighbors are close.
