Brad’s talk:
As a horticulture professional it is incumbent upon you to partner with your community and natural surroundings to actively preserve and enhance water. Local resources you regularly encounter: rain-, grey-, and stormwaters; sun, wind, and shade; and soil fertility can generate far more potential than the sum of their parts. Scarcity is re-visioned into abundance simply through creative cycling and utilization of what is already at hand. You’ll learn simple ways you can influence your customers to conserve and enhance water. You’ll gain inspiration through examples of earth-friendly and beautiful landscape projects that integrate water conservation strategies. In other words, you’ll take away a treasure trove of ways to make a positive difference.
