The process of transforming a landscape into a sustainable, ecologically-sound garden that you love is a rewarding aspect of being a gardener. Understanding plants and their inter-relationships is key to creating a landscape that’s a joy, not a chore. In this class, Lisa Wagner will help you learn how to observe and assess the ecological soundness of your landscape and how to incorporate those observations in your gardening plans. We’ll talk about the components needed to create a robust ecological food web of largely native trees, shrubs, and perennials, which will work over the seasons (and years) and create a welcoming landscape. A primary objective of this class is to learn how to assess and improve the ecological soundness of your landscape.
Lisa Wagner served as director of education at the South Carolina Botanical Garden at Clemson University for almost 20 years, where she taught and lectured on a variety of topics. A plant ecologist who holds a doctorate in botany from the University of California Berkeley, Wagner is a passionate gardener, interested in native plants and designing gardens that are wildlife friendly and sustainable.
