For the past year, planning has been underway to provide the landscaping industry with a wealth of information over time from four residential sites that feature traditional aesthetics and showcase ecologically sustainable landscaping. Landscape contractors are invited to draw upon this project’s demonstrations and data when considering ways to benefit from the growing market for sustainable landscapes.
In this session, the first set of highly anticipated materials will be shared and discussed, including landscape design plans, plant lists, product lists, installation and maintenance budgets, and talking points. Participants will also be the first to receive access to the project’s URL.
ILCA is collaborating on this project with Openlands, a 60-year-old nationally accredited land conservation nonprofit which conducted an extensive market research listening tour to determine how it could best support landscape contractors interested in ecologically sustainable landscaping. This project results from that effort. Openlands has engaged renowned registered landscape architect John Mariani of LandServe LLC for planning and design.
