ELA’s one-day regional conferences offer cutting-edge knowledge, useful information, CEU’s, and invaluable opportunities for engagement with fellow professionals. The Ecological Plant Conference is typically held in late October in New York, followed by the Regenerative Solutions for Resilient Landscapes Conference in Delaware or Pennsylvania in November, and finally the Season’s End Summit in Massachusetts.

ELA Webinars are open to all and cover a wide variety of topics, from native plants to stormwater management and natural swimming pools. Webinars are of general interest and presented at an intermediate to advanced level for both avid gardeners and landscape professionals. Webinars are always free for ELA members and low-cost for non-members.

Join us for single or multi-day workshops to hone your skills and learn from leaders in ecological design and practice. Designed for landscape professionals, ELA’s hands-on workshops provide practical instruction and are offered at both intermediate and advanced levels. Earn CEUs and explore topics related to landscape management and design, land stewardship, horticultural practice, and more.
