Our annual Symposium celebrates the design legacy of landscape architect Ellen Biddle Shipman, this year featuring Pedram Pasha Tehari and Mary Palmer Dargan! Symposium will take place on Friday, April 21, with a Patron Evening on Thursday, April 20.

Symposium sponsorships and single tickets include both the Patron Evening and the daytime Symposium. Design workshops with guest artists D'Andre Beverly and Peg Usner on Saturday, April 22 are by separate tickets, available below.

This year's Symposium will support the incorporation of Ellen Shipman-inspired design elements into our children's Discovery Garden, cultivating cross-generational experiences of landscape design.
