On Sunday, November 20, 1:00 to 3:00, come and participate with Greenwich Audubon for an Introduction to Ecological Gardening and Landscaping presented by Greenwich Audubon Center.
Meet like-minded people at Greenwich Audubon’s new Ecological Gardening and Landscaping program, “Enrich your Land, Enrich your Life.”
The Greenwich Audubon Center has initiated a new educational program where attendees can learn how to create and maintain ecological landscapes which can contain ecologically managed flower, herb or vegetable gardens.
The advantage of this concept is the creation of a beautiful landscape that is alive with the creatures that brighten our lives, including songbirds, butterflies, dragonflies and lightning bugs. The elimination of harmful chemicals creates a safe space where children can experience the wonders of nature every day.
We can all play a part in reversing the ecological degradation of years past by turning our properties into sanctuaries for beneficial creatures.
In this first introductory program we will explore the true meaning of the ecological approach, its advantages and limitations, as well as your choices in managing your landscape.
The talk will introduce the concepts of ecological gardening and landscaping by focusing on lawn management, including what should be done now to begin managing landscapes ecologically.
