Sustainable Landscape Symposium in March

The Front Range Sustainable Landscaping Coalition's third annual symposium will be at the Denver Botanic Gardens on March 4th. This year's topic is soil as the foundation of sustainable landscapes; an array of speakers including a panel of local experts will delve into topics like why soil is vital to our landscapes, what is healthy soil, how to build healthy soil and even how we as landscapers and gardeners manage to exhaust and degrade our soils. The day long symposium features David Montgomery the nationally known author of "Dirt: The Erosion of Civilizations". He will show us why soil conservation is vital to our very existence and what role soils played in the downfall of the greatest civilizations in history.
