We are thrilled to have Scott Brinitzer as our speaker this month. His program is entitled “Stylish Gardens Can Be Eco Friendly.”  Scott is the President and Principal Designer of Scott Brinizer Design Associates, Landscape Design and Installation.  A 30-year, award-winning landscape designer, Scott will discuss the changes in focus from purely an aesthetic outcome of landscape designs, to the current issues of managing storm water, protecting trees, and creating a habitat for beneficial insects while continuing to honor the demand for stylish, beautiful and useful outdoor spaces.

And be sure to check out our monthly Horticulture exhibition and our Design challenge of the month.  This month, we are challenged to create a Cascade Design. Information on the Cascade Design can be found on p. 73 of your NGC 2017 Handbook For Flower Shows. And stop by our Ways & Means Table, too!
