An Evening with Peter Korn and John Little

18 November 2025

Join us for an illuminating conversation between two innovators at the intersection of horticulture, ecology, and design.

John Little and Peter Korn bring their unique expertise to discuss how built and planted landscapes can respond both beautifully and resiliently to environmental challenge. 

Peter Korn: Growing in Sand 

Peter will share insights from his “Growing in Sand” work, demonstrating how dry, sandy, or otherwise difficult soils need not limit creativity or biodiversity. He’ll discuss how site conditions, plant selection, bed structure, and maintenance can be orchestrated to produce year-round interest with minimal irrigation, turning limitations into assets. 

John Little: The Potential of the Complex

John argues that structure, topography and dead stuff are more important than plant choice when designing for biodiversity. With climate change upon us surely we should look to more micro climates and niche to give nature a chance to adapt. Our most important places for wildlife are always our most complex.
