Design-less Gardening: An Ecological Approach

Dan Jaffe will discuss his ideas on disregarding traditional design rules and adopting a new approach to garden design by looking to nature for inspiration. He will share his expertise on creating a design-less, low maintenance garden with an ecological approach; a garden that does not require many inputs in the way of watering, fertilizing, or extra coddling on your part.

Dan Jaffe is a propagator and stock bed grower at the New England Wild Flower Society. He earned a degree in botany from the University of Maine, Orono, ME. He is a previous intern at Garden in the Woods, followed by a year at the Garden as Plant Sales Coordinator. Before Garden in the Woods, he had four years nursery experience including management responsibilities. Native plants and ecology are his strongest passions.
