The Glen Lake Garden Club will host a special program about native landscape design on Tuesday, May 21, 2024, at 1:00 pm the Glen Arbor Township Hall, 6394 Western Avenue. The program is free and open to the public.

Widely recognized for his expertise, Landon’s projects aim to create resilient natural environments which serve both people and nature. His talk will illustrate how such planning can organize and bring a vision to life for homes, businesses or community outdoor spaces.
Following his one-hour talk, Landon will be available to answer questions.
