SUMMARY:Three Regenerative Gardens
DESCRIPTION:Join Landscape Architect and author\, Nick Robinson\, in this workshop where attendees will learn the steps needed to achieve a regenerative urban ecosystem design. \nIn this workshop\, we are following on from Nick’s previous workshop on regenerative planting design*. Nick will discuss three of his Auckland garden projects to demonstrate how this approach can be put into action at your place. \nThe workshop will walk us through the detail of the design process for each of three different gardens. \nNick will start with the existing degraded site and show a variety of design ideas. He will next discuss the finished design (construction and planting)\, and finally\, the implementation and establishment of the garden.  \nThese designs will demonstrate the potential for garden sites to provide not only rich visual and sensory qualities\, but also enhanced urban ecosystem services. \nExamples will include three sites. \n– a bush edge ‘woodland garden’ with troublesome drainage flowpaths \n– a small sunny East Bays courtyard in to which a swimming pool was to be constructed \n– and a riverside garden bush restoration project in a Significant Ecological Area \nThere will be time for attendees to discuss their own projects in the last half hour of this workshop. \n* NB. To attend\, it is not essential to have previously come to Nick’s Regenerative Planting Design for Urban Spaces workshop. \nABOUT \nLandscape Architect Nick Robinson has twenty five years experience of landscape architecture professional practice in New Zealand and Britain. He has worked on award winning landscapes of industry as well as urban regeneration\, parks and private gardens.  \nIn addition to professional practice\, Nick has taught landscape architecture at universities in the UK\, USA \, New Zealand and Germany\, specialising in planting design and has a range of publications to his credit including the Planting Design Handbook.  \nNick recently spent two years working with international experts on urban ecology\, green roofs and green walls at the Department of Landscape\, University of Sheffield\, UK\, with a focus on current thinking on ecological approaches to urban design and innovations in planting design for biodiversity.
