Maintaining Designed Landscapes for Resiliency: Moving Beyond Mow and Blow (2025)

As landscape architects we invest a good deal of thought and time into our designs yet very little if any time is devoted to how our landscapes are maintained. As we expand into resiliency design, it’s crucial that we understand environmental conditions and integrate maintenance strategies early on to ensure the longevity and success of our landscapes. This session considers current projects where maintenance concerns are integral to the design process. Practical and implementable strategies for maintenance and monitoring will also be discussed.

This course will provide 1 Continuing Education Credit.
