Recent headlines report on global insect declines and, in North America alone, declines in bird populations numbering in the billions over the past 50 years. Such losses are not an option if we wish to continue our current standard of living on Planet Earth. The good news is that none of this is inevitable. Join us as Dr. Doug Tallamy, a scientist internationally known for his pioneering work in this area, explains how simply choosing the right plants and maintenance techniques for our own home landscapes will go far not only to address the biodiversity crisis but also help to resolve the problem of climate change. We, ourselves, are nature’s best hope.

Please note that this event will be held at the Merion Tribute House. Advance registration is required. Doors will open at 6:30 and the program will begin promptly at 7:00 pm. Dr. Tallamy’s books will be available for purchase and signing. Space is limited, and we expect this event to sell out-registration will be closed once the attendance limit is reached.

With a 150-year history as a private estate, Stoneleigh: a natural garden became one of the newest public gardens in the Philadelphia region in 2018.  Informed by the growing understanding of the connectedness of all living things, a vision arose during the transition: to reimagine a historical landscape as an ecologically vibrant wonderland of native plants.  Relying on both tried-and-true gardening techniques and intrepid experimentation, the emerging garden is an exuberant exploration of cultivating native plants in the modern landscape.  

Join us as Stoneleigh Director Ethan Kauffman reveals the unexpected plants, expressive design philosophy, and unconventional practices that are driving Stoneleigh’s exciting transformation.

The biggest news in gardening today is that our home landscapes have a greater role to play beyond just ornamental appeal.  With recent headlines underscoring threats to biodiversity around the world, and clarion calls from science communicators, enhancing your garden areas in specific ways provides each of us with empowering roles to play in helping restore functioning ecosystems.  Want to learn more about what you can do and how to spread the word?

Our March program will be presented by Joe MacNeal, winner of the 2021 Lower Merion Township and Borough of Narberth ‘Go for the Green’ award for 'Resident - Environmental Stewardship and Advocacy'.  Joe will discuss his journey into ecological gardening and landscapes, from starting from a barren canvas to creating biodiverse special places.  Discussing affordable and practical ways to transform yard spaces into ecologically beautiful ecosystems, he will cover issues such as: assessing your property to identify ecologically valuable plant species; identifying and controlling invasives and why it matters; garden planning with a mindset of "habitat creation" and focus on "keystone plants"; and cost-effective ways to transform sunny parts of our yards into beautiful, biodiverse native meadows.   Finally, Joe will identify some of the most reliable sources of science-based information which can be at your fingertips in your own journey and explain how apps and the Internet have democratized plant and insect knowledge once reserved to a select few.
