Patio Chat with Jeff Epping

Nuluum

Chicago

 IL

Join us for a special evening with Jeff Epping, nationally acclaimed horticulturist, garden designer, and author of the forthcoming The Gravel Garden: Visionary, Drought-Defying, Naturalistic Designs. In conversation with Lola Wright, co-owner of Nathan Wright Landscape Design, Jeff will share his vision for beautiful, ecologically sound landscapes — and the naturalistic design movement shaping the future of our industry.

Then stay for the social hour: fire pits, an open bar, a food truck, and plenty of time to connect with fellow landscape professionals in the hip, casual setting of Nuluum. Signed copies of Jeff’s book will be available for purchase.
