Groft will explore the second generation of leadership at OEHME, VAN SWEDEN | OvS, a celebrated landscape architecture firm that has been creating extraordinary outdoor spaces for nearly 50 years. He'll share how OvS continues to cultivate an individual style that is both legacy-driven and exploratory as he presents a collection of work including the Native Plant Garden here at the New York Botanical Garden; The American Museum & Gardens in Bath, UK; Tippet Rise Art Center in Fishtail, MT; and residential gardens of all scales throughout the US.

Groft has a passion for horticulture and is dedicated to shepherding the evolution of OvS' New American Garden Style.
