Join us for this great event where we are bringing together local land care professionals, organizations, and community members who are passionate about creating healthier landscapes with engaged communities.

This year’s event expands on last year’s popular “Ask a Landscaper” gathering. We’ll have 6 ecologically knowledgeable professionals on site to answer your questions about native plants, pollinator habitats, sustainable landscaping practices, and how to transform your space into a thriving ecosystem. 

Local organizations including Lawrenceville Corporation/Lawrenceville United, Bloomfield Garfield Corporation and other community partners will be present to share resources and ways for you to get involved in your local communities to help improve the health and wellbeing of your local ecosystem. These organizations have worked to plant trees, grow food, and advocate for vibrant green spaces alongside their other support system offerings in their respective neighborhoods. 

This year’s list of ecological landscapers:

May Apple - Meg Graham

GaiaScape - Chris Kosin

Earth Offerings - Lexi Williams

Root Cellar Natives - Cindie Wilson

Garfield Farm/Wild Indigo Guild - John Creasy

Three Sister Permaculture - Tamara OBrien

Bring photos, site measurements, sketches, or questions about your space. Our experts will help you think through plant selections, layout ideas, and practical ways to get started or improve your existing garden.
