SUMMARY:Virtual Open House: Certificate in Ecological Horticulture
DESCRIPTION:Would you like to learn how to create and maintain landscapes that are grounded in ecological principles and practice? Taught by regional horticultural experts\, this classroom and field-based program is a series of 12 courses geared toward avid home gardeners and landscape professionals looking to develop a deeper understanding of sustainable landscape design and management. \nJoin us at our free Virtual Open House\, where you’ll be able to meet some of our certificate program staff and instructors\, ask questions\, and get answers! A Zoom link will be emailed to all registrants. \nThe Morris Arboretum & Gardens’ Certificate in Ecological Horticulture is self-paced and can be completed in one year of intensive learning or up to several years at a slower pace. The first four courses in the series will be offered in fall 2025. The certificate is unique in our ecological systems-based approach to landscape design and maintenance. Our program approaches each garden as a complex living system\, where plants\, soil\, water\, animals\, climate\, human activity\, and other elements interact with and influence each other. In hands-on and classroom instruction\, our program teaches design and stewardship strategies that address these relationships holistically rather than focusing on individual components in isolation. \nThe program will focus on our region here in Southeast Pennsylvania. Drawing from our deep expertise in this region’s ecology\, all instruction will speak to our local ecosystems. Here at the Morris we have a long history in the native plants of Pennsylvania — we have literally written THE book on this topic! Instructors in the Certificate Program will include Morris staff members as well as other local professionals that are regionally and nationally acclaimed in ecological horticulture.

SUMMARY:Artist Talk with Steven CW Taylor
DESCRIPTION:Join The Print Center and Steven CW Taylor to hear the artist and gallerist discuss his practice\, his beautiful wood-bound artist book\, his Germantown gallery space and the overarching philosophy of Ubuntu that guides his work. \nTaylor moves between photography\, printmaking and material exploration. His photographs reflect his lived experience shaped by movement\, observation and choice. In 2021\, he founded Ubuntu Fine Art\, a gallery grounded in the principle of Ubuntu – which means “I am an amalgamation of the people I’ve met along the way.” It operates as both a fine art space and a neighborhood anchor. Ubuntu is the thread that connects every image\, conversation and encounter that happens within it. Ubuntu Fine Art is a physical expression of Taylor’s lived philosophy – one that values presence\, curiosity and connection. \nThis event is free and open to the public. Presented in-person and on Zoom. \nRegister for Zoom:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/xdgPWi5CQ9-dimXErsYeqA#/registration \nImage: “SA Blues” Special Edition ©Steven CW Taylor 2025

SUMMARY:Outdoors Online: Managing Invasive Species
DESCRIPTION:When invasive plant species—like Japanese barberry\, winged euonymus\, and bush honeysuckle spread into natural areas\, they impact the ecological health of the landscape by displacing native plants and the insects and other wildlife that rely on them. In some cases\, invasive plants also negatively affect the agricultural\, scenic\, and recreational areas of a region as well. \nPreserve Manager Dan Barringer will highlight invasive plant species commonly found growing in landscaped and natural areas\, and how Natural Lands works to manage them. \nGrab a hot drink\, get cozy with a blanket\, grab your laptop (or smartphone)\, and join the program via Zoom.
