(MD) (Montgomery Parks) This year’s GreenScapes Symposium is focused on: Integrating Ecology, Beauty and Adaptability in Design. Thriving landscapes support wildlife, enhance biodiversity, and respond to environmental challenges require thoughtful design and tested practices. Hear from experts in horticulture, ecology, and design to share solutions that work—from small gardens to large public landscapes. Learn how native keystone plants and layered “soft landings” can support pollinators from canopy to ground, and explore regenerative approaches that blend beauty, function, and biodiversity in every setting.

Through illustrative real-world case studies, you’ll discover how dynamic, naturalistic plantings can adapt and thrive, and how climate-resilient and diverse plant palettes can strengthen ecosystems in both urban and suburban environments.
