For our January 2023 Washington Gardener Reader Contest, we are giving away passes to the GreenScapes Symposium (value $55).
The GreenScapes Symposium is an annual program sponsored by Brookside Gardens since 2004. This year’s theme is “Designing With Purpose” and it is held live via Zoom on Friday, February 17, from 9:30am—4pm. Take advantage of this learning opportunity to make positive environmental change, whether in your home garden or through professional work. Explore the latest advancements in landscape design strategies to achieve a range of goals, from public gardens that engage diverse audiences to landscapes that reduce carbon footprints and are resilient to climate change. Speakers will also explore innovative design and maintenance practices that bring visual order to naturalistic gardens, making them recognizable assets to neighbors and HOAs. Although these landscape goals may seem unrelated, they can all be achieved by selecting the right building materials, understanding plant communities, and leveraging creative plant combinations.
