Rethink Foundation Gardens for a Changing World

Hosted by Wild Ones Mountain Laurel Chapter
Tuesday, March 24th, 2026
to (Eastern Time)
Online/Virtual

Public Welcome Limited Access Recording Registration Required Free Event Program/Speaker Presentation

Foundation gardens became popular about a century ago, but times have changed. Let’s re-imagine this planting area, a place residents see every day. We'll examine the design challenges posed by the foundation areas around homes and other buildings and review native plants that fit into that highly visible setting. In addition, we'll consider the surprising, hidden benefits of updated foundation gardens.

Kathy Connolly is a landscape designer who specializes in naturalized designs, low-impact landscape techniques, and native plants. In addition to her design projects, she gives talks, tours, and workshops. She has received several awards for her communications efforts on landscapes, plants, and land care. Kathy has a master’s degree from the Conway Graduate Program in Sustainable Landscape Planning and Design.  Kathy has  completed the Advanced Master Gardener Program and is an Accredited Organic Land Care Professional.
