BGA BUTLER ROOM & GARDENS
Using native plants in ways that create pleasing and attractive gardens can be as simple as using nature for your inspiration. Combining plants that work together in their natural landscapes, with an eye to what patterns and combinations look just right, with judicious “editing” can elevate both enjoyment of your garden and successful stewardship of your landscape, providing sustenance for you, and fellow inhabitants of your site. The program will include a presentation (1½ hour), followed by an outdoor walk using BGA plantings as examples.

Ecological gardening is a way of thinking about gardens and landscapes in which gardens are no longer seen as a collection of plants, but a community with complex interdependencies between plants, animals, soils and the environment. This certificate program explores ecological principles for creating and managing a healthy, self-sustaining garden and landscape in a changing climate. Students enrolling in the Certificate of Merit program will work to complete 120 hours in core classes on topics including principles of ecological gardening, seasonal plants and tasks and sustainable landscape design along with electives on hardscape, edibles, seed saving and other subjects of interest to participants. View current class offerings for credit in the Blue Ridge Eco-Gardener program here.
To begin your program, complete an application and return it to the Education Center along with a one-time, non-refundable $55 application fee.

Your guide through this course is seasoned Wild Abundance instructor Luke Cannon, who has practiced wild food foraging for over two decades. More than a botanist, Luke is a long-time pursuer and teacher of the magic and medicine of plants. An avid naturalist, Luke draws from a diverse pool of knowledge, combining his natural history studies with his life experience in organic farming, natural building, permaculture, nature-based mentoring, and rural homesteading.
