Join MetroWest Climate Solutions for a discussion on sustainable landscaping with Marie Chieppo, a native plant designer and horticulturalist. Ecologically based design strategies help strengthen the partnership by giving nature the ability to do what it does best: live and reproduce. We, in turn, benefit from far fewer demands for maintenance and more time to take in nature’s wonders.

For the next 19 years, through her business, EcoPlantPlans, LLC, she and a crew of skillful women designed, installed and maintained beautiful gardens and landscapes. After earning an advanced certificate in native plant design and horticulture at The Native Plant Trust, she joined the Sustainability Committee at the Association of Professional Landscape Designers and became certified as Landscape Designer through the Garden Federation.
