As co-founder of Seattle-based landscape design firm GGN, Shannon Nichol is committed to specifying local native plant palettes through long-term and norm-breaking collaborations with local horticulturalists and landscape managers around the world. Stemming from a lifelong enthusiasm and amateur familiarity with her home region's under-used native plants, Nichol has documented the successes and failures of incorporating native plantings into her own gardens over the last 15 years, a process that has heavily influenced her professional work and led to many creative explorations and friendships along the way.

Hear from Nichol as she shares learnings and insight from projects including; Chicago's Lurie Garden at Millenium Park, the Gates Foundation Campus in Seattle, and the Seattle Residence: Native Gardens.

We offer Continuing Education credits (CEUS) for LA CES and APLD for successful completion of this lecture.
