Ecological Landscape Design Lecture and Tour

  • Saturday, July 26, 2025, 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM

Matt Dallos, owner of Thicket Workshop, will speak about the practices and ideas that support ecological landscape design. While both local and regional projects will be discussed, the primary case study will be a meadow-type planting installed in 2021 on Cornell’s Libe Slope. Dallos will also explore the 20th century history of ecological garden design and its relevance to local environmental action in our age of climate crisis. Following the talk, attendees will visit the project on Libe Slope for further discussion. Attendees may join the lecture remotely, but only in-person attendees will get the Libe Slope tour.

Instructor's bio: Matt runs Thicket Workshop, a plant-focused design firm (based in Ithaca) that creates public and private ecological landscapes. He received an MS in landscape architecture from Penn State and a PhD in environmental history from Cornell.
