Our current drought has challenged landscape architects to find new ways to design residential landscapes. As we move away from water-intensive plants and lawns, towards designs that incorporate drought-tolerant and native species, there are new opportunities to create more sustainable landscapes with diverse habitats for birds and butterflies. Nancy Kent, a California landscape architect with a practice in Oakland, will discuss evolving garden design and garden elements that encourage diverse wildlife and plant communities.
A Parks Commissioner for Piedmont, Nancy Kent is working with the city, EBMUD and StopWaste.org to create a bay-friendly park from a water-intensive lawn landscape.
