Botany Hall Lecture at Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens

Objective: Learn the behind the scenes aspects of a garden, including the design process, installation and the care that goes into making sure a garden succeeds.
Level:  beginner to intermediate
Prerequisites: None

Often garden designers share beautiful images of gardens and landscapes at the end of the design process, when they are all “grown up” and full but don’t share all of the thought and care that goes into creating these garden spaces. In his talk, Designing with Plants, Tom de Witte will take us behind the scenes for a look at several of his own garden designs as well as those he has worked on with internationally celebrated landscape designer, Piet Oudolf. See the process from design and installation to what it takes to maintain naturalistic gardens. Includes time for questions.

Ecological Gardening Certificate and Landscape and Garden Design Certificate elective. Approved for 2.0 CEUs for landscape architects by LA CES.

Tom de Witte
Landscape Designer
Tom de Witte designs outdoor spaces, small and large. Layering and naturally inspired planting play a major role in his work. Tom’s design firm creates naturally inspired gardens, landscapes, parks and public spaces. Layering throughout the seasons and specific plant knowledge in this area are their main features. The growth cycle of the plants provides an ever-surprising outdoor space in gardens of all sizes.

Tom studied for four years at the Horticulture College in Boskoop (Netherlands) and graduated in 2000 from the Academy in Ghent (Belgium).  Tom specializes in plantings of perennials and grasses. He regularly works together with the renowned Dutch garden designer Piet Oudolf. Tom is inspired by both the designing and planting of his landscapes, at home in the Netherlands and abroad. This could be the rainforests in Tasmania, prairies in North America or verges along the polder roads in Zeeuws-Vlaanderen.
