Las Vegas is at an inflection point. As water scarcity intensifies and landscape standards evolve, the case for native and regionally adaptive planting has never been stronger — yet barriers in procurement, policy, availability, and perception continue to slow adoption.
Join the AIA Las Vegas Placemaking Committee on April 30 for a dynamic moderated panel exploring how landscape decisions are made in Southern Nevada, from concept through installation and long-term maintenance. This discussion will bring together leading voices across design, horticulture, policy, and practice to share real-world experience on cost, procurement, risk, and performance when working with native and regionally adaptive plant material.
The panel will focus on what works, what does not, and how project teams are adapting their approach to create more durable, climate-appropriate landscapes without sacrificing project goals. Attendees will gain insight into the biggest challenges in incorporating native plant material, the limitations surrounding plant availability and procurement, the importance of collaboration across teams, and the long-term maintenance considerations that impact project success.
Learning Objectives:

Learn what part of the project lifecycle presents the biggest challenges in incorporating native and regionally adaptive plant material.
Learn the challenges that exist in scaling native and regional plant availability compared to traditional landscape palettes.
Assess how collaboration impacts the feasibility and execution of native landscaping strategies.
Assess how native and regionally adaptive landscapes perform over time, including maintenance requirements, common failure points, and strategies for long-term success.

Moderated by:
Jazmine Harris, AIA — Placemaking Committee Chair, AIA Las Vegas
