As you know Doug Tallamy’s book, Bringing Nature Home, How You Can Sustain Wildlife with Native Plants is the bible on native plants and nature’s survivability. We will learn about the critical role of native plants in local ecosystems that highlights how we can share in the role of ecological stewardship. As Douglas Tallamy states: “Native plants are vital for the survival of wildlife. The birds and animals we all enjoy will disappear if we take away their food and habitat. We must redo suburban gardens to include some of the native plants species that once nourished our local biodiversity before we lose it forever.” The doors will open to the public at 6:00 PM for sharing in educational displays presented by conservation-minded partners and a book signing by the author followed by his talk at 7:00 PM. There will be light refreshments and door prizes – can it get any better!!!!! Cost $5.00 per person. Make checks payable to PSCE Program Fund (OR, you can purchase tickets at the extension office - see Kelly).
