Lauren Springer

Colorado plantswoman and designer Lauren Springer has been pioneering ecologically attuned plant selection, garden practices, and regionally resonant design for more than three decades, beginning with her development of hellstrips back in the 1990’s. She holds a masters degree in horticulture from Penn State and has been a professional propagator for much of her career. Her work is featured regularly in both the national and international press. Four of her recent design projects have received Audubon Rockies Habitat Hero designation. Through Lauren’s public garden designs, books, classes and talks, and plant introductions, she continues to influence and help move the Rocky Mountain region’s horticulture forward to a more diverse, creature-supportive, beautiful, and resilient future.
