Design & Planning Community co-chairs Elayna Toby Singer and Emmanuel Didier are hosting a “huddle” to brainstorm your involvement in the pre-conference workshop on June 24, 9am-12pm titled, “A Multi-Disciplinary Approach to Growing Resilient Gardens & Communities”.
You are encouraged to be part of the June 24 pre-conference workshop not only as attendees, but also to bring forth your experiences and expertise as leaders of the D&P Community.
Here’s a bit more about the June 24 workshop:
Participant colleagues from all public garden disciplines will be engaged in thought provoking conversations about resiliency in the face of climate change and cultural transformation. This collaborative session is facilitated by Design & Planning professionals from diverse disciplines. Through prompts, brainstorming and activities, participants will be empowered to develop practical strategies, tools, and multi-disciplinary approaches to integrate resilience into the planning and implementation of their organization’s priorities.
