Join us for a stimulating morning with Doug Tallamy, world renowned ecologist, as he outlines his vision for a grassroots approach to conservation, beginning in our own back yards. Tallamy’s books, "Nature’s Best Hope," "Bringing Nature Home" with Rick Darke and "The Nature of Oaks" are New York Times best sellers. He is the T.A. Baker Professor of Agriculture in the Dept. of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology at the U. of Delaware and the author of research publications, seminars, lectures and books that are influencing how home gardeners shape their landscapes across the U. S.
Why do our choices matter? Learn:
-- the unbreakable link between native plants and wildlife and the impact a home gardener has on both.
-- how invasive plants leap out faster than native plants and take over.
-- how choosing the wrong plants can help destroy a natural habitat.
-- AND learn what you can do to support the Cape’s ecology, where to source native plants, what to plant and what to watch out for in plants invasive to Cape Cod that have taken root.
Hear from Cape Cod Cooperative Extension’s Russ Norton on why invasive plants blight the landscape and learn what native plants thrive on Cape Cod. Russ is Horticulture Extension Educator for the Extension and UMass Extension’s Landscape, Nursery and Urban Forestry Program.
Discover where to buy native plants and seeds and incorporate them into your existing garden with Trevor Smith. Trevor Smith is Weston Nurseries’ Design and Education Manager. He brings 20 years of field experience as an entrepreneur and regenerative landscape designer.
