SUMMARY:RECORDING: Garden As If the Earth Matters
DESCRIPTION:GARDEN AS IF THE EARTH MATTERS: Planting for Biodiversity and Climate Resilience \n  \nWatch the recording HERE. \n  \nWatch Anna Fialkoff\, from the Wild Seed Project in Portland\, Maine\, as she explores how gardening with native plants helps foster biodiversity and creates more resilient landscapes. Formerly of the Native Plant Trust in Framingham\, MA\, Anna highlights the wonderful ecological connections that happen in our own backyards and public spaces when we focus on native plants. Without sacrificing beauty\, we can create extraordinary\, vibrant habitats for the insects and birds who are essential to a healthy ecosystem. Anna shares many concrete suggestions for planting and for landscape care\, all designed to enrich our soils and to help mitigate the stresses of climate change. This talk was presented on October 13\, 2022. \n  \nThe contact person for this action would love to form an Acton\, MA area “Native Plant Team” on EnergizeActon.org\, where gardeners could share ideas for planting and for sharing our enthusiasm with others. If this talk inspires you to join such a team\, please go to the bar at the bottom of this page and click\, “Contact Community Admin.” Your message will get through to the correct person. \n  \nThis event was co-sponsored by EnergizeActon.org\, the Acton Garden Club\, and the Acton Conservation Trust. Many thanks to the Acton Garden Club for co-hosting this event as part of their special Shirley Towle Lecture Series. \n  \n
