Editing the Garden- Advice from the High Line
September 13 10:00 am - 11:30 am

A naturalistic garden does not necessarily mean it is wild or low maintenance – it flourishes through intentional care and thoughtful curation. Learning to edit your garden is a crucial part of this process. Join Yuki Kaneko of New York City’s High Line for an exploration of the principles and practices of maintaining and enhancing naturalistic gardens. Learn editing strategies that preserve design clarity while managing dynamic plant communities. Get expert guidance for selecting plants that emphasize texture and structure for four-season interest. Help foster biodiversity in your own garden with a naturalistic aesthetic that changes seamlessly through the seasons. Autumn is the perfect time to make thoughtful edits that will keep your garden vital, evolving and looking its best.
