Nature’s Best Hope: Presentation/Q&A with Douglas Tallamy, 10:30 am

With his books “Bringing Nature Home” and “Nature’s Best Hope,” Dr. Douglas Tallamy changed the conversation about gardening in America. His grassroots approach to conservation provides practical, actionable ways our home gardens can provide the essential habitats needed by our declining wildlife populations. With humor and passion, Dr. Tallamy offers an inspiring vision of the important role our own gardens can play in the larger environment.
