Come learn how to design with purpose — and plant with the planet in mind.

Join us for an inspiring and informative session that explores how thoughtful use of native plants and tree care can foster biodiversity and ecological resilience in your landscape design practice. In “Designing with Native Plants and Structure for Biodiversity,” you'll learn how to integrate native plants alongside structural elements like nurse logs and habitat snags—often overlooked arborist byproducts—to create designs that support wildlife, enrich soil health, and promote long-term ecological resilience.

Speakers Emily Booth and Austin Booth of Green Seed Gardens and Nicky Dunbar of Foster Trees bring a unique blend of artistic design, ecological insight, and practical expertise to this conversation.

This event will take place at Green Seed Gardens, a native plant nursery with demonstration gardens. Participants who purchase plants at the nursery will receive wholesale discounts. Light refreshments will be provided.

Free for APLD members & sponsors, $35 for non-members
