Join JEFF EPPING, as he delves into his new book, co-authored with award-winning garden writer Teresa Woodard, exploring the art of gravel gardening. This naturalistic movement offers beauty, resilience, and a promising future for ecological landscaping.  The book features 20 stunningly photographed gardens by Bob Stefko, showcasing locations in the US and Europe, including Jeff’s own gravel garden in Madison, Wisconsin.

Jeff will share his insights and those of leading naturalistic designers, as well as practical techniques for various scales and applications, from intimate home settings to small and larger public and commercial spaces.  If you want to create more beauty with less work, provide a haven for pollinators and other animals, or simply garden in a way that’s kinder to the earth, we invite you to explore the possibilities of gravel gardening with Jeff.

Jeff’s new book, published by Timber Press, entitled The Gravel Garden: Visionary, Drought-Defying, Naturalistic Designs, will be released June 2, 2026, and is available now for preorder on Amazon.  Books will also be available for purchase at the event.
