Water is an essential element for our plants to flourish. Though rainwater is clearly beneficial to nature, sometimes the pollutants it carries with it are destructive. Yet the perfect filter is just underfoot: the soil in our gardens. What are the best methods to capture and use this resource to its greatest potential, while creating beautiful landscapes? Come to Green Matters and find out! Seven speakers throughout the day featuring Neil Weinstein, PE, RLA, AICP, Executive Director and co-founder, Low Impact Development Center; and Warren T. Byrd, Jr., CLA, FASLA.
