Garden Spark: Amy Hovis presentation
Amy Hovis presents Creating Your Special Place in This World: Strategies for Making an Outdoor Sanctuary in an Era of Uncertainty
Description: As we witness the effects of climate change, rapid urban development, and the uncertainty of a pandemic, it has become vital to rethink our urban landscape and embrace and protect our personal green spaces as sanctuaries for ourselves and nature. Amy will share how she works with clients to create unique places. She suggests simple yet surprisingly wonderful ways to effect change through landscape design. While offering strategies for creating outdoor spaces that elevate our daily experience, she focuses on the concept of creating lifelong memories in touch with nature.
Speaker Bio: Amy Hovis is a multidisciplinary designer focused on creating biodiverse and sustainable landscapes that elevate the daily experience while bringing humankind closer to nature. She is the principal of Eden, an award-winning landscape design + build studio in Austin specializing in commercial and residential landscapes that emphasize water-wise, native, and adapted plants, and known for creating dramatic impact by integrating well-designed hardscape and stunning native planting. She is also one of the owners of Barton Springs Nursery, offering one of the best selections of native plants in Texas and the only nursery in Austin that grows its own native and adapted plants on site.
COVID SAFETY PROTOCOLS:

After your purchase is complete, you will receive an email from Pam requesting a photo of your covid vaccination card. Your info will remain confidential, and the photo will not be stored.
