5 Elements of a Healthy Landscape

Brandywine's new gardening series, titled "Perspectives in Design," celebrates the diversity of native plant options through the lens of both design and functionality, helping gardeners of all levels select the most appropriate natives for their growing spaces. In our first program, we will look at conventional landscaping practices and discuss ways we can improve the health of our own spaces by making thoughtful changes to these practices.
