Thomas Rainer, Planting in a Post-Wild World – SOLD OUT

Thomas Rainer is a horticultural futurist fascinated by the intersection of wild plants and human culture. A landscape architect by profession and a gardener by obsession, Thomas has worked on projects such as the U.S. Capitol grounds, the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial, and The New York  Botanical Garden, but is happiest puttering in his small garden in Washington, D.C.

As climate change and mass extinctions reshape our environment, traditional horticulture falls short—too carbon-intensive, too resource-heavy, too high-maintenance, according to Rainer. In this visionary session, you will discover how to create thriving plant systems that mimic nature’s  aesthetics and resilience, transforming wild inspirations into sophisticated, biodiverse landscapes. You will leave inspired!
