Part 1: Case Study Presentation This case study describes the conception, planning, design, procurement, installation and management of a native plant landscape and sculpture park through the eyes of the founders. A whirlwind three years began the transformation of the 36-acre residential property with large native plant gardens, an enhanced natural meadow and savanna matrix, a series of six small constructed wetland pools, and forest habitat all organically maintained with limited staff. The Bower opened in 2021 and continues to grow, evolve, and demonstrate the rewards of combining ecology and art.
Part 2: Panel In this session, landscape designer Ethan Dropkin will join the Allises in an informal discussion on the processes, challenges, and results of their collaboration at The Bower. Attendee participation and questions will be encouraged.
