The location of the talk is at Wright Hall in the Weinstein auditorium.<\/p>\n<p>Restoration in the landscape typically means ecological restoration like the restoration of coastline after Katrina, or human health restoration \u2013 through practices like horticultural therapy. A question that drives my design practice is how to get people into the landscape and deepen their connections to the world around them. That question led me to my next question and the premise of this talk \u2013 Can medicinal plants in the landscape be a means to restore not only macro scale ecological systems, but also micro scale systems like our day-to-day health? I&#8217;ll share several projects that explore those questions and feature medicinal plants as part of an overall design response.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ecotropy.net\/php\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/forest-view.jpg\" class=\"wp-gallery-popup wp-gallery-popup\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1161\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ecotropy.net\/php\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/forest-view-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ecotropy.net\/php\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/forest-view-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ecotropy.net\/php\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/forest-view-50x50.jpg 50w, https:\/\/www.ecotropy.net\/php\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/forest-view-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ll be giving a presentation titled: Medicinal plants in the Landscape: catalysts for restoration at Smith College on Monday, February&hellip; <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ecotropy.net\/php\/2013\/02\/04\/talk-at-smith-college\/\">Read more &raquo;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1159,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[15,12,22,25,13],"class_list":["post-1158","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-art","tag-design","tag-landscape-architecture","tag-medicinal-plants","tag-nature"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2QAns-iG","jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.ecotropy.net\/php\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/entrance-south_reduced.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ecotropy.net\/php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1158","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ecotropy.net\/php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ecotropy.net\/php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ecotropy.net\/php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ecotropy.net\/php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1158"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.ecotropy.net\/php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1158\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1163,"href":"https:\/\/www.ecotropy.net\/php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1158\/revisions\/1163"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ecotropy.net\/php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1159"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ecotropy.net\/php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1158"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ecotropy.net\/php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1158"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ecotropy.net\/php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1158"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
