Landscaping for Beauty and Resilience

Landscape design is an investment. The right selection and balance of plants can enhance our enjoyment of our homes and neighborhoods, increase property values, and build resilience during erratic weather like floods and drought. Landscape designer Pennington Grey will share images and interventions from distinctive landscapes in our area to show interesting, innovative solutions that are as practical as they are refined and beautiful.   

Pennington Grey’s firm produces and maintains high-caliber, quality work in the Northeast, adhering to strict standards of best practices. He is on the board of the Ecological Landscape Alliance, and is known for the judicious use of native plantings and minimal chemical inputs for maximum visual and environmental benefit.
