New Directions in the American Landscape 35th Annual Design Symposium, entitled Landscape, Ecology & Culture, in partnership with Morris Arboretum & Gardens and Connecticut College Arboretum next month! This program will take place January 10-11, 2024 in Bryn Mawr, PA and January 17-18, 2024 in New London, CT.  

Founded in 1990, this annual two-day symposium has a long tradition of celebrating native plants and innovative ecological practice. Presenters reflect the diverse factors that shape our landscapes including landscape architects, landscape designers, horticulturists, ecologists, historians, anthropologists, artists and others. The series offers in-depth explorations of forward-looking and overlooked topics, always seeking to connect theory with practical application. This year's topics include grassland and forest restoration, indigenous landscape practice, historical landscape influences, and ecology-based landscape design.

Registration is open. The program will also be livestreamed on Jan. 17-18, 2024. Recordings will be viewable for three months after the live event dates. CEUs are also available for LA CES, APLD, and several more. We'd love it if you would be willing to share this with your community, and feel free to let us know if you'd like us to share any upcoming events with our audience of landscape practitioners and ecological gardeners!
