Monday, October 7, 2024
11:00am – 12:15pm ET
Location: Walter E. Washington Convention Center, Room 145AB

In 2024, we’re stepping up our game in setting ambitious biodiversity goals. During this session, we’ll engage in meaningful discussions to identify key challenges, discover opportunities, and discuss how to overcome obstacles together across the design/supply chain. To expand nature-based solutions, we need a solid network of suppliers and partners.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Gain knowledge on how to improve landscape specifications to get a better product from native plant producers.
  • Understand how agencies support and work with producers and designers to scale up biodiversity.
  • Learn about production, order and contract growth timeline for native plant material to facilitate production, material availability and end quality.
  • Become familiar with a few horticultural best practices that will support biodiversity.
