Creating a Sustainable Landscape Anywhere with Landscape for Life (Online Lecture)

Deryn Davidson, Sustainable Landscape State Specialist, Colorado State University Extension
Discover how Landscape for Life empowers home gardeners to create beautiful, sustainable landscapes based on nature’s principles. We’ll explore the core ecological principles the program addresses—healthy soil, water conservation, plant diversity, and wildlife support—and how it continues to evolve to meet today’s environmental challenges. Whether you're new to sustainable landscaping or looking to deepen your knowledge, this session will provide inspiration and practical guidance for creating a thriving, resilient landscape wherever you garden. 

Developed from the U.S. Botanic Garden and Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center’s Sustainable Sites Initiative (SITES), this program is now run in partnership with Colorado State University and provides guidance to help people design and maintain yards that work with nature rather than against it.  

This program is offered as part of the Garden’s week-long celebration of Earth Day. It is also offered as part of the Garden’s Landscape for Life partnership with Colorado State University.
