A Wednesday Workshop: The Ecology of Gardens and Yards — Your Yard Matters!

Wednesday, October 26, 2016 - 7:00pm to 8:30pm

Your front and back yard, while it may seem small, is just one piece of a larger patchwork, connected by birds that fly across town, salamanders that crawl beneath fences, bees that hum between flowering plants, and seeds that disperse on the wind. 

How is your yard connected to our shared landscape in the Wissahickon watershed? How and why does it matter? This workshop will begin with a reading and continue with an open-ended discussion led and facilitated by Scott Quitel, founder of the Land Health Institute.

Join us weekly on Wednesday evenings for workshops that will inspire and enable a stronger connection of our homes and lifestyles to nature and community. From how-to workshops on topics of self-sufficiency and urban homesteading to discussions about gardening for biodiversity, Wednesday night programs will guide us in methods of creating more sustainable, connected, and personally satisfying ways of modern living.

Admission is free. REGISTER HERE.
