No publisher doug Lecture 2009-11-11T19:42:39Z Event http://bringingnaturehome.net/lectures/schedule/bringing-nature-home-11 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. No publisher doug Lecture 2009-03-18T01:07:27Z Event http://bringingnaturehome.net/lectures/schedule/treasures-among-our-natives "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." No publisher doug Lecture 2009-03-18T00:34:50Z Event http://bringingnaturehome.net/lectures/schedule/bringing-nature-home-10 "Since 2004, The Butterfly Pavilion has observed Plant Conservation Day to celebrate the importance of plants in our lives and the health of the plant's ecosystems...The day will also include a lecture from Dr. Douglas Tallamy, author of Bringing Nature Home, about the importance of native plants in wildlife habitats. " No publisher doug Lecture Book Signing 2009-03-17T00:15:55Z Event http://bringingnaturehome.net/lectures/schedule/bringing-nature-home-8 "...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."

No publisher doug Lecture 2009-03-15T23:45:53Z Event http://bringingnaturehome.net/lectures/schedule/bringing-nature-home-6 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.

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."
