How Does Your Garden Age?

To create longevity in design, we have to understand the landscape aging process. Do you really know what your design will look like as it matures? Take a 100-year journey in the life of a garden, from birth to decline. Rejuvenation efforts in some of New England’s finest landscapes have sparked resurgence in understanding the aging process and have informed decisions for their rebirth.

• Learn how the past can guide today’s landscape design and maintenance decisions
• Understand the concept of gentle management to extend a landscape’s life
• Get creative in designing durable landscapes for the future
