Lecture: Gardening for Life Thursday, February 12, 7:30 pm Science Center 101 Join us for our first collaboration with Swarthmore College’s Environmental Studies program and hear Doug Tallamy speak on the importance of our landscaping choices in improving biodiversity. With as many as 33,000 species imperiled in the U.S., it is clear that we must change our approach to landscaping if we hope to create homes and food to improve our local biodiversity. Native plants will play a key role in the restoration of our living spaces because only natives provide the coevolved relationships required by animals. By supporting a diversity of insect herbivores, native plants provide food for a large and healthy community of natural enemies that keep herbivores in balance and our gardens aesthetically pleasing.
