Bringing Nature Home Jun 17, 2009 from 12:00 PM to 01:15 PM — ARSHT HALL, UD Wilmington Campus, Wilmington, DE,
Because our gardens are part of the terrestrial ecosystems that sustain humans and the life around us, we must keep them in working order. Tallamy will discuss the important ecological roles of the plants in our landscapes, emphasize the benefits of designing gardens with these roles in mind, and explore the consequences of failing to do so. Gardening in this crowded world carries both moral and ecological responsibilities that we can no longer ignore.
Treasures Among Our Natives Jun 05, 2009 from 10:15 AM to 11:15 AM — Millersville University, Millersville, PA,
"A growing number of gardeners and landscapers are using native plants to help conserve local biodiversity, but many know little about the animals they are helping. Tallamy will describe some of the fascinating ways animals interact with the native plants they depend on. Anticipating, observing, and understanding these relationships will enrich our lives and further justify the use of natives in our yards."
Bringing Nature Home May 30, 2009 from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM — Butterfly Pavilion & Insect Center, Westminster, CO,

"
Bringing Nature Home May 22, 2009 from 10:10 AM to 11:05 AM — West Palm Beach Marriott, West Palm Beach, Florida,
"...You will learn: Why we need biodiversity; Why we need to change landscape paradigms to save biodiversity; Why animal diversity depends on native plants and What a sustainable suburban ecosystem might look like."

With as many as 33,000 species imperiled in the U.S., it is clear that we must change our approach to gardening and landscaping if we hope to share the spaces we live and work with other living things. Native plants will play a key role in the restoration of our landscapes because only natives provide the coevolved relationships required by most animals. By supporting a diversity of insect herbivores, native plants provide food for a large and healthy community of natural enemies that keep herbivores in balance and our gardens aesthetically pleasing. Gardening in this crowded world carries both moral and ecological responsibilities that we can no longer ignore.
Designing a Landscape with Native Plants May 10, 2009 from 11:00 AM to 01:00 PM — Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens Visitor Center,
"Using data and illustrative designs in his presentation on Sunday, May 10, at Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, Douglas W. Tallamy will expand on the information he presented at the May 9 symposium. He’ll dispel misconceptions and suggest ways to make your property a showpiece without losing its ecological function in the local ecosystem. A discussion period will provide opportunities to learn even more during this enlightening program."
How Native Plants Sustain Wildlife in Our Gardens May 09, 2009 from 10:45 AM to 11:45 AM — Kerr Hall Visitor Center, Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, Boothbay, ME 04537,
"Doug Tallamy's talk will expand upon the theme of his book that details how the accelerating pace of development and subsequent habitat disruption affects the pressures on wildlife populations to a greater extent than ever before in our nation's history....By favoring native plants, gardeners can provide a welcoming environment for wildlife of all kinds."
Bringing Nature Home: How Native Plants Sustain Wildlife in Our Gardens May 02, 2009 from 10:00 AM to 05:00 PM — Meadowwood Nursery, Hummelstown, PA,
Meadowwood Nursery will host The Manada Conservancy's 9th Annual Native Plant Sale on Saturday, May 2nd, 2009, 9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m., with guest Dr. Doug Tallamy, Professor & Chair of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology, University of Delaware, and author of Bringing Nature Home.
Native Plant Connection: A new look at how landscapes can support biodiversity May 01, 2009 from 03:30 PM to 04:30 PM — Atlantic Sands Hotel and Conference Center, Rehobeth Beach, DE,
"Sprawl has replaced natural areas throughout the East, leaving suburbia as the primary living space for our biodiversity. If we want to sustain our natural heritage into the future, we must stop replacing native plants with alien ornamentals that most of our wildlife cannot eat, and start planting the native plant species that nourish our local food webs."
Bringing Nature Home Apr 25, 2009 from 11:30 AM to 01:00 PM — Monument Mountain Regional High School, Great Barrington, MA,
Sponsored by Project Native.
Cherish our Natural Heritage: Planting Natives to Promote Biodiversity Apr 25, 2009 from 05:00 AM to 06:00 PM — Recreation Center, Ridgefield, CT,
With as many as 33,000 species imperiled in the U.S., it is clear that we must change our approach to gardening and landscaping if we hope to share the spaces where we live and work with other living things. Native plants will play a key role in the restoration of our landscapes because only natives provide the coevolved relationships required by animals. By supporting a diversity of insect herbivores, native plants provide food for a large and healthy community of natural enemies that keep herbivores in balance and contribute to biodiversity of species. Planting native TREES, SHRUBS & PLANTS in this crowded world carries both a moral and ecological responsibility that we cannot ignore.
Bringing Nature Home: How Native Plants Sustain Wildlife in Our Gardens Apr 24, 2009 from 06:00 PM to 07:00 PM — Bard College, Annandale-on-Hudson, NY 12504,
