The Vermont Chapter of The Nature Conservancy is collaborating with Green Works, Vermont Nursery & Landscape Association, to promote the propagation, sale and use of native plants. Come to hear entomologist Doug Tallamy, Professor and Chair of the Department of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology at the University of Delaware and author of award winning “Bringing Nature Home; How Native Plants Sustain Wildlife in Our Gardens”.
Because our yards and gardens are part of the terrestrial ecosystems that sustain humans and the life around us, it is essential that we keep them in working order. Doug Tallamy will discuss the important ecological roles of the plants in our landscapes, emphasize the benefits of designing gardens with these roles in mind, and explore the consequences of failing to do so. Gardening in this crowded world carries both moral and ecological responsibilities that we can no longer ignore.
WHEN: February 13th, 10:30-Noon
WHERE: UVM’s Davis Center in Burlington
