Ecological Landscape Design Symposium at Conn College flyer

Ecological Landscape Design Symposium

www.ndal.org/2025-annual-symposium

First held in 1990, this annual two-day symposium has long presented ecology-based landscape design programs for professional practitioners. Presenters reflect the diverse factors that shape our landscapes including landscape architects, landscape designers, horticulturists, ecologists, historians, anthropologists, artists and others. From theory to practical application, the series explores forward-looking and frequently overlooked landscape topics. Join us as we continue to connect the dots between ecological restoration, cultural landscape practice, and fine garden design.

Our event this year will include a varied group of presenters from Gerould Wilhelm, who developed a highly regarded technique for vegetative site analysis; to Wagon Landscaping, a French landscape architecture firm whose innovative gardening approaches apply both regionally and globally.

VIRTUAL OFFERING

For those who may not be able to attend in-person or on the scheduled dates, a virtual viewing option is available.

Continuing Education Credits (CEUs) are offered for this symposium. Please see the landing page for more details on credit hours and offering organizations.
