As part of the “Butterflyway” pollinator project, this free webinar will feature Benjamin Vogt.
In a time of mass extinction and climate change, how and for whom we garden matters more than ever.
What role do native plants have in opening us to the perspectives of others? What happens to our society when we advocate for the equality and freedom of a silent majority? Through ecology, psychology, landscape design, horticulture, philosophy, and social science, we’ll explore the rich complexity of rethinking pretty and what a garden means in the anthropocene.
Benjamin Vogt is the author of A New Garden Ethic: Cultivating Defiant Compassion for an Uncertain Future and the forthcoming Prairie Up: An Introduction to Natural Garden Design. He has a PhD from the University of Nebraska and owns Monarch Gardens, a prairie-inspired design firm. His work has been featured in The American Gardener, Fine Gardening, Garden Design, Horticulture, and Midwest Living. Benjamin lives in Lincoln, Nebraska with his wife and son.
