As the Native Plant Society celebrates its 50th Anniversary, we invite you to join Panelists Judith Phillips (Judith Phillips’ Design Oasis), Linda Churchill (Santa Fe Botanical Garden), Charles Doerwald (El Toro Landscape), and moderator Tracy Neal (horticulturist) to discuss how landscape design, materials, and practices have changed in our region. Water availability, climate change, plant and hardscaping material availability, and landscaping preferences have changed how we garden and what our future landscapes may look like. What lessons have we learned and how can we make our landscapes more sustainable? Whether you are a landscape professional, gardener, or simply passionate about your yard, you will gain practical insights and inspiration for designing, planting, and stewarding our outdoor spaces.
