SUMMARY:SGD Conference: Between a Rock and a Soft Place - Pushing hard for a lighter impact
UID:687
DESCRIPTION:BETWEEN A ROCK AND A SOFT PLACE\nPushing hard for a lighter impact\n\nSaturday 27 April 2024Royal Geographical Society\n1 Kensington Gore\, London\, SW7 2AR									This conference delves into the fascinating world of the interface between mineral\, vegetal and animal\, with some emphasis on how and why inorganic materials impact on what plants grow and wildlife can thrive.\n\n			With changing mindsets on sustainable practice\, the current ideal is to think locally\, touch the soil lightly\, and creatively exploit the repurposing and up-cycling of existing materials on site. But what are the best methodologies for garden designers who want to adopt this approach and how can we embrace a more holistic attitude to hard and soft landscaping?\n\n			With a panel of speakers that include specialists in the fields of ecology\, construction\, design\, conservation and horticulture\, the SGD Spring Conference will open up the debate and explore the current thinking and challenges of sustainable landscape practice.\n\n			Through their individual presentations and panel debates\, our speakers will explain how their own methods can be applied to everyday garden projects that aim to minimise both the carbon footprint and the disruption to the natural ecology of a site. \n\n						Including talks fromDarren Hawkes (Darren Hawkes Landscapes)\n\nJulie Bargmann (D.I.R.T Studio)\n\nJuliet Sargeant FSGD FLI MRCP\n\nMark Gregory (Landform Consultants)\n\nLiz Nicholson and Robin Truslove (Nicholsons)\n\nHelen Basson (Orchard Farm Landscaping Services\, France)\n\nWambui Ippolito - Host\n\n\n\nWith thanks to our headline sponsor \n\nAnd charity partner\n\n									View our conference exhibitors - find out who you can see on the day\n\n						Ticket PricesIn-person TicketsThe base price to attend in person as a non-member is £167.00.
