The Humane Gardener

November 15, 2017 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm

The Humane Gardener with speaker Nancy Lawson

The Takoma Horticultural Club Presents 

“The Humane Gardener”
Speaker Nancy Lawson

Wednesday, November 15, 7:30 to 9:00pm
Historic Takoma, Inc., 7328 Carroll Ave., Takoma Park, MD

Did you know that most bees nest underground, not in hives? That baby birds eat caterpillars, not birdseed? That skunks are garden helpers, eating insects who eat plants? Traditional landscaping practices exploit myths about our fellow species and ignore their needs. Learn how to cultivate an ethic of compassion and a wildlife-friendly habitat instead, welcoming nature back to your own backyard.

Our guest speaker, Nancy Lawson, is the author of a new book, “The Humane Gardener: Nurturing a Backyard Habitat for Wildlife,” and a columnist for “All Animals” magazine. She will be selling and signing her book at the talk. See more details at www.humanegardener.com/the-book/

Please bring a snack to share, wear a recycled name tag and ask a friend to join you.

This event is free and open to the public.
