Immerse yourself in the ethics and principles of garden design as we “rethink pretty” and explore the ecology of gardening at this year’s Native Plant Conference, Ecological Landscapes.
Learn from renowned landscape design experts, horticulturists, conservationists, and visionary thinkers who are shaping sustainable landscapes and offering fresh perspectives on integrating ecological principles in garden design.
Meet regional change-makers who actively champion the native plant movement in our state and in our local communities.
Discover insights into Alabama’s native plant conservation efforts, explore how to create nature-inspired gardens, and discuss the transformative power of planting with native species.
Keynote Speaker

Meet Keynote Speaker Benjamin Vogt, renowned author, garden designer, and founder of Prairie Up (formerly Monarch Gardens LLC); Benjamin specializes in designing prairie-inspired landscapes that support biodiversity.
Author of “A New Garden Ethic” and “Prairie Up,” Benjamin’s keynote, “Fundamentals of Garden Layers,” will explore how ecological principles can transform garden design.
Benjamin will join the 2025 Native Plant Conference virtually to reduce his carbon footprint, a decision that aligns with his deep commitment to sustainability and the environment.
