Join landscape designer, Edwina von Gal, and her collaborators at PRFCT EARTH PROJECT for a Landscape Therapy Session. As a collective, we will share gardening woes and mishaps, followed by small-group consultations. Participants are encouraged to share specific questions, concerns, and even photographic proof (!) of their garden spaces, and will receive actionable tactics from each Guest Speaker to create a more nature-based garden.
This workshop, which will take place in Guild Hall’s Boots Lamb Education Center, is open to gardeners of all experiences & interest levels, and programmed in relation to the current exhibition, Student Art Festival: Eco vs Ego.
PRFCT Earth Project’s Nature-Based Gardening booklet will be available for purchase in advance for an additional $10 + tax, or can be purchased at the program, while supplies last.
ABOUT PRFCT EARTH PROJECT
Founded in 2013 by Edwina von Gal, Perfect Earth Project is a non-profit organization dedicated to educating, engaging, and inspiring individuals, land care professionals, and decision-makers to adopt toxic-free, nature-based, and climate-responsible landscaping practices necessary for a healthier, more sustainable—and beautiful—environment for all.
The core of our mission is nature-based land care, which means working with nature and its beauty, not against it. When we use these simple methods, our gardens become a feast for the senses, hosting a healthy and vibrant ecosystem that is safe for us, our kids, and our pets.
