Are you already gardening with native plants, but want to learn how to convince others to do the same?

THURSDAY, JULY 17

Native Plants—Spreading the Word Beyond the Choir

7:00–8:30 PM

Mary Anne Borge, Naturalist, Author, and Photographer

Sponsored by Jenkins Arboretum & Gardens + Tredyffrin Public Library’s Arbo-READ-um partnership

Recent studies show bird populations have decreased almost 30% in the past 50 years. Insect populations have declined 40% worldwide in the past 40 years. Native plants are a key part of the solution to reversing this trend. Are you already gardening with native plants, but want to learn how to convince your neighbors, homeowners association, local municipality, and more to do the same? Discover how Mary Anne Borge and her team at Lambertville Goes Wild transformed their town into a wildlife haven, and how you can use their strategies to achieve this transformation in your own neighborhood or town.
