Thanks Tim and Cynthia. Next webinar will really get into strategic thinking about perspectives and drawing composition – my favorites! I’ll cook up some more video clips and hopefully control the camera focus a bit more than in last night’s program.

Webinar was really great – nice mix of refresher and new info. So helpful to keep up to date on materials and processes and see through Jim’s crystal ball into the future.

Great webinar last night, Jim!  Looking forward to part 2 next week!

The planter needs to be designed to handle whatever nature throws at you.  You can retrofit the drain like Chris said to become the overflow at the down end of your planter. If you have a lot of slope, check dams can hold the water and pool it to infiltrate fully. Then the…[Read more]

Are you talking about installing a planter over a storm inlet, or a storm line? 

We are designing stormwater bioretention planters for a downtown.  We want to place a planter where a storm drain currently exists.  Can a planter be designed over a storm drain and be an effective bioretention measure — i.e. slowing down rainwater but not completely infiltrating?  Appreciate any input.

funny you should mention that, we just sent out posters to about 70 schools today, Ball State included. You should be getting three 11×17 posters, an invitation letter, and current schedule. I will be posting the LABash poster on our website as a PDF in the near future.

I called. When you book online, there is a ‘comment box’ you need to put “labash conference” in there so they know to give the room out. If you call you just have to mention Labash so they can book the room.

ok, i will wait~ 🙂

The group code should be labash. i will give them a call and get the exact details to make sure.
