Jenkins Arboretum, 631 Berwyn Baptist Road, Devon

Co-sponsored by the Radnor Conservancy, Jenkins Arboretum and the Radnor Memorial Library Because our gardens are part of the terrestrial ecosystems that sustain humans and the life around us, we must keep them in working order. Dr. Doug Tallamy, author of the best-selling book Bringing Nature Home: How You Can Sustain Wildlife with Native Plants, 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. Pre-registration is required - please call Jenkins Arboretum at 610-647-8870, ext 154. $5.00 per person. Refreshments will be served.
