As climate change challenges traditional approaches to planting, the debate about whether exotic trees should play a more prominent role is intensifying. Our panel of experts will lead a thought-provoking discussion on the delicate balance between ecological conservation, climate adaptation and the artistic integrity of landscape design.

During this enlightening evening at the intersection of environmental sustainability and artistic vision in contemporary landscape design, the audience will be given space to actively participate in the discussion and make a valuable contribution to understanding the complexities inherent in sustainable landscape practices.
