The Garden Center’s 5th Annual Legacy Seminar will have Dr. Doug Tallamy as our featured speaker. Dr. Tallamy is an entomologist, conservationist, and professor at the University of Delaware, whose work has transformed our understanding of the relationship between native plants and wildlife. Dr. Tallamy will give two different presentations at the seminar.
His research and books, including Bringing Nature Home and Nature’s Best Hope, have inspired millions to see their own yards as part of the solution to the biodiversity crisis. Driven by the belief that everyone can play a role, Doug co-founded Homegrown National Park to encourage people to plant natives in the spaces they care for. His vision is simple: when we all take part, we create the connected habitats that life depends on.
Registration: Garden Center members $100, non-members, $115, and college or university students, $50. Advanced registration is required. Tickets will not be sold at the door. Please click here for seminar details and to register.
