Dr. Tony Koski, Kenton Seth, Crystal Strouse, and Pamela Berstler
The 16th annual High Plains Landscape Workshop dives deep into LOCALscaping – a concept that will have us taking a closer look into our environment, gardening practices, and the impacts of our limited water resources.
How do plants adapt to meet our high desert challenges? Learn how to effectively remove lawn and re-purpose your garden space, grow a ‘no water’ garden, add underused native plants, and incorporate watershed landscaping techniques while boosting your soil’s health.
Keynote speakers include Dr. Tony Koski, Kenton Seth, Crystal Strouse, and Pamela Berstler. If you are a home gardener looking to help your landscape thrive this year, this day is perfect for you.
Our CEO, Pamela Berstler will present her talk (grab the handouts here): The Watershed Approach: Landscaping Like the Earth Depends On It from 1:25 PM – 2:55 PM.
