Session Title: Moss Wall Workshop

 Saturday, July 10  1:00 PM - 5:00 PM

Description:  With the steady increase in consumer interest and desire to reconnect with nature it is no wonder why the moss wall would be the number one go-to when designing space. With its ease of care and installation, down to the versatility in design, there is no easier way to accomplish the feeling of nature in our environment.

Join us for a hands-on workshop that will take you on the journey of the moss wall creation. A team of innovative experts and design rock stars will dive into every element from the concept, proposal, and completion stages of delivering that biophilic connection that your customers love. You will leave with the confidence and guidance for incorporating the moss wall into your business plan as well as creating your very own piece to take with you.

Already a moss extraordinaire? This hands-on workshop will open your creative pathways while designing your own work of moss art in a peer creation format. You will be able to tap into your peers for design inspiration, tips, and much more. 

Seats are limited. Separate registration required. The Moss Wall Workshop can be added on to your registration when you sign up for Cultivate'21. If you have already registered for Cultivate'21, you can add on the Moss Wall Workshop by calling Maritz at (219) 354-6440.

    Nicolas Rousseau 

    President at ByNature 

    Nicolas Rousseau is described by his friends and collaborators as a passionate and talented engineer in horticulture with a noble vision to make a difference in our modern urban environment; he envisions to innovatively and elegantly integrate nature into urban interiors, to beautify our living spaces and improve people’s well-being, health and happiness. Nicolas’ expertise, dedication, integrity, perseverance and creativity led him to design and develop the first Living Frame in North America and then found ByNature in 2012.

    He installed his first Mossart wall in 2008, later, leading ByNature to become the largest North American importer of moss and supplier of Mossart walls to the interior landscaping industry. ByNature is a company that fosters wellness, happiness and health through greenery, aesthetic pleasure and air purification. Nicolas is an expert in his field. Before founding ByNature, he gained a solid expertise through the completion of several projects involving the leading edge Living Wall technology in Paris, France.

    Nicolas is an accomplished entrepreneur but also a researcher and a teacher at The Centre for Architectural Ecology at the British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT) in Vancouver (Canada). He developed the first living wall class in Canada in 2013 and he has also been fortunate to not only work on a large diversity of projects but also to develop his own methodologies, used more frequently in Green Roof and Living Wall Ecology for assessing the plant viability. He is also the author of several scientific papers and the co-author of Advanced Green Roof Maintenance, which is widely used in the training of green roof design and maintenance professionals.
