Designing for Nature with Edwina von Gal and Toshi Yano
Wednesday, May 22, 2024
7 p.m. to 8 p.m.
American Horticultural Society
Virtual
$15 AHS members/$20 non-members
Free your garden and design for independence! Join Edwina von Gal and Toshi Yano as they discuss their new vision of nature-based gardening. In this webinar, Edwina and Toshi will show how the approaches that drive contemporary horticultural aesthetics and methods often do not prioritize the health of plants, people, and the planet. Instead, they will offer a holistic approach to land care that’s based in the science of plant-wildlife relationships, soil microbiology, and water and biomass management. Edwina and Toshi will show how this new approach, based on what they call “PRFCTPractices”, is being implemented in landscapes as diverse as home gardens, public parks, colleges, corporate campuses, and cemeteries, and how you can incorporate them into your own practice.

Testimonials
[Edwina’s] presentation was inspirational, entertaining & filled with a joyous sense of freedom – all while imparting such important information & a new way of looking at landscapes & plantings. I am so interested in getting as many of our residents as possible to understand a new perception of beauty.
~ Jean Thatcher, Three Harbors Garden Club
We received wonderful, positive feedback from so many of the attendees who said that they felt informed and empowered to make changes in their home landscape practice towards a more ‘magical’ and sustainable model.
~Lisa de Guzman, Three Harbors Garden Club
My husband and I are totally inspired! And the feedback today says…so are the 175 + guests listening last night.
