The Art of Garden Making: Finding and Sustaining Design Inspiration by Marion McNew, CPLD, FAPLD

Her talk will offer practical insights and tools designers can use when creativity needs a spark.

Following the presentation, attendees will break into small groups to exchange ideas and explore practical strategies for turning inspiration into reality across designer, contractor, and client partnerships.

Free for Members / $25 for non-members

Join the APLD Oregon Chapter for our second Monday of each month,  members-only meet-up, where we’ll reconnect with fellow landscape designers and gather fresh inspiration and motivation for the year ahead. Over coffee and pastries, we’ll share what’s working, what we’re learning, and ideas that can help make this new year run smoother — and maybe even a bit more profitable.

These informal conversations are where inspiration sparks, challenges feel lighter, and practical insights emerge. Whether you’re refining your process, planning for growth, or simply craving connection with peers who understand the work, this is time well spent.

Members are welcome to stay afterward for our quarterly board meeting to hear what’s coming up and learn how to get involved.
