The pre-conference walking tour will begin at the
Camino de Paz Montessori School and Farm, a fully
integrated sustainable working farm. The farm is
structured as a teaching center for middle school
students, the local community and the broader
sustainable farming community. The farm uses
biodynamic practices and has market gardens,
animal husbandry and processed foods divisions.
For a special treat, the students will perform
Marimba and prepare an organic lunch for tour
participants. The tour continues at the Pueblo of
Tesuque, an authentic Native American traditional
farm community. Tour participants will tour solar
powered greenhouse systems, water catchment
methods, an organic fruit orchard and straw bale
adobe seed bank. The group will then return to
the conference hotel and meet local Landscape
Architect, Catherine Clemens, for a walking tour
of the Santa Fe River.
Post-Conference Tour
(Limited to 50 people)
The post-conference tour takes place
in beautiful Albuquerque, NM. The

Biophilia and Biophilic Design:
Nature’s Role in Human Health and Wellbeing
Dr. Stephen R. Kellert, Tweedy Ordway Professor
Emeritus and Senior Research Scholar
Yale University, School of Forestry and
Environmental Studies
1.25 CEUs
The theory of biophilia asserts that humans biologically
evolved an inclination to affiliate with nature that even
today remains instrumental in people’s physical and
mental health, productivity and wellbeing. The idea of
biophilia will be explained, as well as limited scientific
evidence to support the theory, particularly the role of
contact with nature in work, healthcare and learning.
Biophilia is, however, a “weak” not “hard-wired”
biological tendency that, like much of human behavior,
requires learning and social support to develop
adequately. Unfortunately, modern society has tended
to undervalue the importance of contact with nature.
Serious obstacles include a dominant value system
that regards progress and civilization as requiring the
subjugation of and separation from nature, and a
prevailing paradigm of building and landscape design
that encourages the degradation of natural systems and
processes.
As modern people now spend roughly 90 percent of
their time in buildings and constructed landscapes – the
“natural habitat” of contemporary society – satisfying
people’s need for contact with nature requires a new
paradigm of building and landscape design – what has
been called “biophilic design.” The notion of biophilic
design will be explained, including principles associated
with its effective application, as well as specific strategies
for its practice and implementation. Adopting biophilia
and biophilic design is a necessary basic for sustainable
development, and will require as much as a new
consciousness toward nature as a new technique for
landscape and building design.

Art, Gardening and Photography
Charles Mann, Owner, Charles Mann Photography
1 CEU
There are innumerable references to tell us how to use the
camera to photograph gardens, but who can tell us why we
want to photograph them? Professional garden photographer,
Charles Mann, has pondered the issues of art, beauty, nature
and photography and has some unique insights, observations
and conclusions to share along with a panoply of beautiful
photographs from across the gardening spectrum. Charles
suggests that you learn to use your camera as a tool to
renew your enthusiasm for gardening as well as to revive
your appreciation for the hidden beauty all around you. “Art,
Gardening and Photography” is his attempt to think out loud
about the ‘why?’ of photography and its relationship to art
and to gardening, to proffer some picture-taking tips and
anecdotes while sharing some of his favorite garden photos.
Water
New Mexico Landscapes – Stormwater as a Resource

It doesn’t rain that much in New Mexico, but when it does; it
can be torrential and dramatic. What is the fate of this water
in our towns, cities and communities? How can we best utilize
stormwater to help our gardens grow? This session will look
at water harvesting methods that have been learned over the
last 15 years that directly influence plant growth, soil health,
biological diversification and bioremediation.

The importance of careful plant selection for xeric landscapes
can’t be over-emphasized. Factors such as soil preferences,
cold hardiness and value to wildlife and pollinators are all
essential criteria for choosing regionally suitable woody
plants. Our landscapes must become more resilient and their
value as habitat has become an imperative. These topics will
be the focus of the presentation as the best new and triedand-true plants are discussed and their merits in the xeric
landscape are highlighted.

The Power and Beauty of Water Harvesting
Nate Downey, Founder and President, PermaDesign, Inc.
1 CEU
Given the water-oriented challenges that the landscapedesign industry faces, professionals should realize that
water harvesting’s time has come. Instead of creating
downstream pollution with runoff that we divert away from
our projects, we can collect and use precipitation as well as
wastewater. This helps conserve water, reduce maintenance
costs and grow highly enjoyable outdoor environments.
Water harvesting can also add to our bottom line, broaden
the scope of services we provide and increase our clients’
satisfaction with our work.
People love using resources that normally go to waste. Why
not help them? With a perspective grounded in permaculture
practices, this workshop will show you the basics for bringing
a wide variety of untapped resources to your projects
including roof water collected in cisterns, greywater systems,
rain gardens, wicks and other approaches to diverting runoff
toward the roots systems of plant material.

Landscape Design with Water in Mind
Lori Palmquist, CID, CIC, CLWM, CLIA, WaterWonk
1 CEU
With availability of water for landscapes becoming more of
an issue in drought-stressed areas, there is a clarion call to
approach landscape design in a different way. We all know how
to choose and combine plants based on exposure, soil type,
flower color, blooming season, etc. But do we consider that
water-use requirements of plants from the beginning? Can we
rest assured that the gardens we design are using water the
most efficient way?
Green roofs are part of the expanding palette of sustainable
ideas that can be used in a residential setting. Green roofs
have been shown to be beneficial to the homeowner as
well as the community. The majority of green roof research
has been done in areas of the world with more hospitable
environments than the desert and as a result, most of the
plants being recommended for rooftop installations are
not plants that will thrive in the desert environment. This
presentation will introduce the research currently being
done comparing native plants to non-natives in a simulated
green roof setting.
Come to this session by Lori Palmquist and learn about tools
and strategies that empower landscape designers to take a
more active role as stewards of our precious water resources.

This presentation will focus on the 25 year transformation
of the nearly abandoned 50-acre industrial site adjacent to
the historic downtown core into a contemporary community
gathering space of recreational, commercial and cultural
vitality. The people of Santa Fe rejected the owner’s proposal
for demolition of the site and excessive redevelopment. They
boldly purchased the railyard and through a communitybased planning process, envisioned a park, adaptive reuse
of industrial buildings and designated small sites for local
serving businesses centered on arts and cultural uses. The
revitalization is now 90 percent complete and a beloved
destination for residents and visitors. The railyard has been
nationally honored with the Rudy Bruner Award for Urban
Excellence in Social and Environmental Sustainability and by
the American Planning Association as One of America’s Great
Public Places.
It’s not hard to understand or believe that in order to grow
a healthy crop of shade trees, shrubs, turf and ornamentals,
it’s necessary to have a healthy soil. It can be said with little
argument that only a healthy soil can grow a healthy plant.
Nature replicates this success in many pristine sites across
the globe, where fertilizers and compost are never applied by
humans, yet vegetation is healthy and sustainable. This being
the case, how does the molecular biology of soil really work
that can instigated, stimulated and cultivated in a constructed
site?

Farewell Reception – Santa Fe Botanical Garden
Adaptable gardeners are working under increasingly
inconsistent conditions resulting from climate disruption,
creating new strategies to conserve resources and improve
resilience in the spaces they tend. In the Southwest, we are
changing paradigms for living well in a landscape noted for
its extremes. Semi-arid and arid places are not all sharp
edges and spiny plants – there are many native and adapted
shrubs, wildflowers and grasses that put on brilliant seasonal
displays of color. They are the softer side of the Southwest.
Designing for extremes involves celebrating where you
are; designing resilience into the garden using plants
and structural materials adapted to the site conditions;
contouring the land to better serve the people, plants and
wildlife using it; capturing storm water to take advantage
of even the extreme storm events, prevent erosion and
support plants; paving the way to resilience using hard
surfaces as rainwater collectors and diverters to support
trees and large shrubs that buffer the heat generated by
pavement. While these strategies are essential in the
Southwest’s extremes, they can be adapted to make gardens
more resilient wherever people put spade to soil.
