Join us for a day of design education, discussion, and inspiration at the state-of-the-art Edsel & Eleanor Ford House Visitor Center. This all-day event will take place in the Lakeshore Room, where floor-to-ceiling windows showcase unparalleled views of Ford Cove and the surrounding landscape. Presentations will include "Innovative Approaches to the Layers of Midwestern Living Landscapes" featuring Keynote Speaker Rick Darke, Rick Darke LLC and "The Michigan Garden" featuring speakers Ann Weiland and Julie Sajtar, Hoerr Schaudt Landscape Architects. Bring your questions and interact with the Design Symposium Panel, a panel composed of a designer, a nurseryman, and a Plant Health Care professional, who will share their strategies for dealing with insects/diseases, cultural and planting issues, and offer helpful advice for the landscape designer. The day will end with a tour of the Ford House Visitor Center Landscape where attendees will see one of the last remaining Jensen landscapes and the newly installed visitor center landscape that features bioswales, native plants and a developing prairie.
