Memphis Horticultural Society Meeting – The Foodscape Revolution by Brie Arthur

February 6, 2018 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

Join us for this inspiring presentation by Brie Arthur, a horticulturist, landscape design consultant, and garden communicator based in Raleigh, North Carolina.  Brie has fine-tuned her signature design technique of Foodscaping, a sustainable landscape practice that embraces beauty and utility, and demonstrates how pairing edibles in a traditional ornamental landscape increases bio-diversity and adds purpose to everyday spaces. Her book The Foodscape Revolution was released in 2017 and will be available for sale before and after the presentation!

Originally from southeastern Michigan, Brie Arthur studied Landscape Design and Horticulture at Purdue University. With more than a decade of experience as a grower and propagator at leading nurseries such as Plant Delights and Camellia Forest, she now combines her passion for plants and sustainable land management by communicating the value of gardening across the US. Brie has been dubbed a revolutionary for her leadership in the suburban Foodscape movement and for her work with public schools across the US. She appears as a correspondent on the PBS Television show “Growing A Greener World” and recently published her debut book, The Foodscape Revolution.  In 2017, Brie was honored as the first recipient of The American Horticultural Society’s Emerging Horticultural Professional Award.
