Green Garage: Sustainable and Earth-Friendly Solutions for the Landscape
Presented in partnership with the City of Alexandria
June 27, 2009
Lee Center, Alexandria, Virginia

In our everyday choices, opportunities abound for making our gardens, landscapes - and even the earth - healthier and more beautiful places. From water conservation to creating wildlife habitats, this Garden School will explore a range of environmentally conscious practices through lectures and hands-on workshops. There also will be an exhibit hall featuring companies and organizations that offer green products, services, and tools.

Featured speakers will include: Marcy Damon, grassroots restoration coordinator for the Chesapeake Bay Foundation; Jeff Lowenfels, soil health expert and author of Teaming with Microbes: A Gardener’s Guide to the Soil Food Web; Douglas Tallamy, author of Bringing Nature Home: How Native Plants Sustain Wildlife in Our Gardens; and Paul Tukey, author of The Organic Lawn Care Manual.
