SUMMARY:Smart Planting Management with Claudia West\, January 18 (Zoom only-sorry\, no recording!)
DESCRIPTION:Smart Planting Management with Claudia West\nJanuary 18\, 2024\nZoom only (PLEASE NOTE: this event will not be recorded for future viewing).\nFree for members; non-members Register now!\nZoom links are automatically sent to members the Sunday before and the day of the presentation.\n \nGardeners love nurturing their plantings but get frustrated when maintenance needs become overwhelming. Join Claudia for an eye-opening deep dive into the root causes of high maintenance gardens. We will discuss recent discoveries in plant community science and link them to some of the biggest challenges gardeners face. You will leave with practical thinking models and tools to help you balance your garden’s needs with your busy lifestyle and budget. Nurturing an inspiring\, ecologically rich garden should not be a burden! \nClaudia West is a leading voice in the emerging field of ecological planting design. Known for her passionate advocacy of plant-driven design\, Claudia is a widely sought out speaker and consultant who applies the technologies of plant systems to bring essential natural functions back into our cities and towns. She has worked on all sides of the green industry—as a designer\, a grower\, installer\, and land manager—grounding her innovative work in pragmatic solutions that address the realities of our urbanizing world. She is the co-author of the critically acclaimed book\, Planting in a Post-Wild World. \nHaving grown up on a family-owned nursery\, florist business\, and design/build firm in eastern Germany\, Claudia was propagating plants before she could walk. Her love of American native plants brought her to the U.S. where she worked at Blue Mount Nurseries in Maryland and immersed herself in the study of American flora and mid-Atlantic ecosystems. Claudia holds a Master’s Degree of Landscape Architecture and Regional Planning from the Technical University of Munich\, Germany. Her intense studies of plant habitats and the science of plant community-based design strategies at the renowned school for horticulture in Weihenstephan\, Germany built a solid foundation for her current work. Before co-founding Phyto Studio\, Claudia was ecological sales manager at North Creek Nurseries\, a wholesale perennial grower in Landenberg\, PA. Her work was focused on bridging the gap between growers\, designers\, and land managers as well as introducing more functional and beautiful ecological plants into the nursery trade. \nFree for members; $10 suggested non-member donation. Sorry\, this talk will not be recorded. \nClick here to register.
