Join ecological landscape designer Ashley Gamell for a captivating garden walk as she explores the fall season's potential to enhance garden beauty and extend blooms into the winter, all while sustaining a vibrant ecosystem. In this session, Ashley will spotlight stunning fall bloomers in both the walled and wild gardens and share her insights on a mindful approach to garden cleanup that fosters biodiversity throughout the year.

She co-authored the award-winning The Kids’ Guide to Exploring Nature and contributes to numerous gardening publications. Ashley, who is completing her Diploma in Garden Design at Oxford College of Garden Design, also owns an ecological landscape design business and co-authored a pollinator conservation gardening action guide.
