Allowing Your Landscape to Work for You: Designing for Resilience and Sustainability

Join MetroWest Climate Solutions on June 10 at 7 p.m. for a discussion on sustainable landscaping with <a href="https://ecoplantplans.com/about/">Marie Chieppo</a>, a native plant designer and horticulturalist. To register for this free webinar, visit <a href="https://www.metrowestclimatesolutions.org/">metrowestclimatesolutions.org</a>. There is so much that nature does to support our gardens when we create a partnership. Ecologically based design strategies help strengthen the partnership by giving nature the ability to do what it does best: live and reproduce. We, in turn, benefit from far fewer demands for maintenance and more time to take in nature’s wonders. Chieppo will use case studies to explain how to work with nature to create beautiful landscapes with maximum function for living organisms. She became a Master Gardener in 1999. For the next 19 years, through her business, <a href="https://ecoplantplans.com/">EcoPlantPlans</a>, LLC, she and a crew of skillful women designed, installed and maintained beautiful gardens and landscapes. After earning an advanced certificate in native plant design and horticulture at The Native Plant Trust, she joined the Sustainability Committee at the Association of Professional Landscape Designers and became certified as Landscape Designer through the Garden Federation. Most recently, she became an Accredited Organic Landcare Professional through the Northeast Organic Farmer’s Association’s (NOFA) Organic Landcare Program. Chieppo earned a Masters in Public Health degree. &nbsp;Earlier in her career, she worked as a researcher for the Editor in Chief at the&nbsp;New England Journal of Medicine.&nbsp;
