Join the Chestnut Hill Conservancy for Ask the Experts: Putting Plants to Work with Jeff Lorenz of Refugia Design. Refugia Design embraces the ethos of designing and stewarding landscapes that support native ecosystems to create biological corridors of refuge for plants, people, and wildlife. Refugia founder Jeff Lorenz and the team specialize in transforming lawns into sophisticated and dynamic plant communities. Since 2015, they have created 100+ habitat 'stepping stone' gardens within five miles of their Narberth HQ as part of their award-winning Ecological Greenway Network.

Join Jeff as he lifts the veil on traditional landscaping practices to offer tangible creative alternatives that embrace natural processes to create immediate environmental impact by 'putting plants to work.'

This program is designed for everyone, from experienced gardeners to those new to sustainable landscaping. During this free virtual lecture, Jeff will provide actionable insights into common issues in our region alongside case study inspiration for creating an ecologically beneficial, beautiful, and resilient garden come spring.

This free program is made possible by the Conservancy's Lead Sponsor, Chubb, our General Sponsors, and members. It is done in collaboration with the Chestnut Hill Community Association.
