I'm giving a talk at the the Anacostia Watershed Society this weekend.
Here are the details, as posted by AWS:
"Urban Wildlife Gardening in the Anacostia Watershed"
Part One of Our Spring Gardening Lecture Series
Date: Saturday, March 27, 2010
Time: 1:00pm - 3:00pm
Location: AWS Office
The George Washington House
4302 Baltimore Avenue
Bladensburg, MD 20710
Cost: Free to AWS members! Another perk of being an AWS member.
Building a backyard habitat for wildlife in the city can bring rewards for both the watershed and the gardener. Alison Gillespie will discuss how to create an urban oasis where many kinds of birds, butterflies and bees can thrive. She will also discuss some of the special challenges that urban landowners face, and review some of the techniques conservation gardeners employ to help their local watersheds. Attendees will also have the chance to venture outside as Alison explores the native plants and rain gardens around the George Washington House.
It's a day for native plants! Streamline your spring plant shopping by coming to the Friends of the National Arboretum Native Plant Sale. This group sale features regional nurseries offering an extensive selection of native plants, and growers will be on hand to offer garden information. Most vendors accept cash or checks only. Free admission.
Visit the native plant sale at the National Arboretum in the morning and then take the short drive over to AWS for my talk!
