AIA Peconic, the East End’s chapter of the American Institute of Architects, is hosting a free “Virtual Lunch & Learn” event on Thursday, October 16, with Perfect Earth Project.

Founded in 2013, Perfect Earth Project is a nonprofit dedicated to educating, engaging and inspiring individuals, land care professionals and decision-makers to adopt toxin-free, nature-based and climate-responsible landscaping practices for a more sustainable environment. Perfect Earth Project’s mission calls for “nature-based land care,” meaning working in concert with nature — not against it.

“This one-hour virtual presentation given by Perfect Earth Project’s founder Edwina von Gal will introduce attendees to the concepts of sustainable and healthy landscape, as well as the vocabulary and insights necessary for guiding clients and project leaders to consider nature-based landscaping,” AIA Peconic stated.

The event will begin at noon and run for one hour over Zoom.
