Noted botanist and ecologist Gerould Wilhelm will discuss the art of design with a focus on the built environment. Luncheon attendees will explore reframing design processes to include more integrative, restorative and collaborative practices consistent with nature and the community context. Ultimately, the goal is to produce places, products and services in ways that add energy, vitality and health to both local communities and ecosystems.
