“Matrix Landscape Design” with Benjamin Vogt



Learn how to use high-density plantings that replicate natural ecosystems in aesthetically pleasing designs, enhancing ecological functions while reducing maintenance efforts.

Matrix planting is a landscape design approach that mimics natural ecosystems by closely planting and layering compatible perennials and grasses to cover the soil, provide more ecosystem services, and eliminate the need for wood mulch or aggressive weeding. Join Wild Ones for a webinar to learn how author, educator, and landscape designer Benjamin Vogt applies this approach to create stunning native gardens. Learn the principles behind this method, its ecological benefits, and practical steps to implement matrix planting in your own garden.

  1. I plan on doing a matrix design under my 100' tall red oak. How can I combat the 1000s of acorns that will germinate with the matrix?

  2. Great presentation, solid fact based and garden tested information with wonderful humor. Thank you!
