Johnson County Master Gardeners: Designing a Natural Garden

Listen to an audio podcast of this program.

Natalie Ross is the owner of Ross Land Studio, a woman-owned small business that works with residential, commercial, and institutional clients to create outdoor spaces, big and small. Her presentation addresses creating natural landscapes that are beautiful, functional and ecologically resilient. She is helping Iowans "unlawn" their yards, creating habitat for pollinators -- birds and butterflies. She earned a Master of Landscape Architecture degree from the University of Minnesota and is a registered landscape architect.

This program is part of the 2024 Community Speakers Series hosted by the Johnson County Master Gardeners and Hills Bank.
