Gardeners can foster biodiversity simply by choosing to plant more natives. This is Dr. Doug Tallamy’s simple but powerful message. In his eye-opening book, Bringing Nature Home: How Native Plants Sustain Wildlife in Our Gardens, Tallamy, Professor and Chair of the Department of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology at the University of Delaware, shows how life does depend on what we plant in our backyards. Join Tallamy as he discusses how healthy wildlife populations are directly dependent on native plants and the steps gardeners can take to increase biodiversity in their own yards. The talk will be followed by a book signing.
