Keynote Presentation:
Benjamin Vogt (virtual)
Owner of Monarch Gardens & Author of Prairie Up: An Introduction to Natural Garden Design
Famous author and garden designer Benjamin Vogt shares why gardening with native plants is an ethical imperative in a world of climate change and extinction. This deep dive explores ecology, science, psychology, and philosophy as we ponder how to embrace gardens as places to create empowering social and cultural change.
This year, WSA is thrilled to host three national speakers, including Benjamin Vogt!
