This online event will be open to all. Claudia West is a leading voice in the emerging field of ecological planting design. Known for her passionate advocacy of plant-driven design, Claudia is a widely sought out speaker and consultant who applies the technologies of plant systems to bring essential natural functions back into our cities and towns. She has worked on all sides of the green industry—as a designer, a grower, installer, and land manager—grounding her innovative work in pragmatic solutions that address the realities of our urbanizing world. She is the co-author of the critically acclaimed book, Planting in a Post-Wild World. In this presentation, Claudia will discuss: Rebuilding Abundance. Our cities and suburbs desperately need more inspiring, ecologically rich planting. Yet budgets are tight, and crews and gardeners are often unfamiliar with more diverse planting typologies. Claudia will share the scientific models and techniques her landscape architecture firm, Phyto Studio, applies to tackle the maintenance challenge and create ecologically rich and inspiring planting. “Planting must be rich, inspiring, and full of life. We use exciting, new planting technologies to recreate abundance where we need it the most, in our cities and suburbs.”About Phyto StudioPhyto Studio is a niche landscape architecture firm renowned for their innovative methods of designing resilient yet robust plant communities for urban landscapes.
