Many gardeners and land managers
find themselves constantly fighting Nature to maintain the aesthetic appeal
they desire. Another approach is to work with naturally occurring events and
plants to achieve a landscape that is sensually, intellectually and emotionally
satisfying. This workshop continues that discussion and demonstration of
ecologically-based naturalistic landscaping and its benefits. There will be
information presented for both those familiar with this form of wild
landscaping and those new to it. With an understanding of natural processes you
will learn how to work with the land to develop an attractive and healthy
landscape. With weather permitting, most of the time will be spent walking the
woods and fields of Aton Forest observing managed and natural habitats. There
will also be time to talk about participants’ land management issues.
