Creating Living Landscapes
with Doug Tallamy, author of Bringing Nature Home
Friday, September 7, 2018, 7:00pm
University of Tennessee University Center Auditorium
642 E. 5th Street, Chattanooga TN
How can we create socially acceptable landscapes using native plants?
Many people are concerned that native plants are more prone to insect damage,
are messy and not attractive, will attract vermin, and cannot be used formally.
Tallamy will dispel these misconceptions and suggest ways to make your property
a showpiece, while contributing to the ecological functioning of the local ecosystem.
The program also includes presentation of the 2018 Habitat Hero Awards to exemplary
sustainable gardens in the Tennessee Valley.
All tickets $10.
