Kate Ancaya guest lecturer in Building Resilient Futures series

On the heels of the 1-year anniversary of Hurricane Helene, LRI Founding Partner Kate Ancaya will kick off the NC State’s Department of Landscape Architecture’s Fall Lecture Series: Building Resilient Futures. The timing couldn’t be more relevant. As we reflect on the impacts of Helene, Kate will speak about ‘The Overlooked Landscape’ of roofs and how these underutilized spaces can play a vital role in building resilience across the Southeast.

LRI Service Day!

Caring for our waterways on and off the roof! We took some time with Asheville GreenWorks to help keep our waterways and community clean. It turns out we are pretty good trash picker-uppers, and it was nice to spend some time along the French Broad River and together as a team.

The Native Plants Healthy Planet Podcast

Big thanks to the rad hosts Fran Chismar and Tom Knezick of The Native Plants, Healthy Planet Podcast for chatting with our very own Kate Ancaya and Shannon Currey of Hoffman Nursery about native plants and green roofs. The podcast is presented by Pinelands Nursery and is worth a listen (or 10!). Fran and Tom know a lot about plants and are a whole lot of fun too.
