How to Build Your Very Own Hometown National Park

Mar 4 @ 10:15 am - 12:00 pm

Presented by the Acton Garden Club and Neal Sanders, author.

With a style meant to make you chuckle, Neal Sanders, author, will tell us how he and his wife took on the challenge to create a “Hometown National Park” as set forth by ‘Nature’s Best Hope’ author Doug Tallamy.  In his book, Tallamy defines the average American lawn as an ‘ecological desert’, and puts forth the radical idea that our properties should be suitable both for humans and desirable species; what he calls ‘Hometown National Parks.’

Neal and his wife took that challenge to heart when creating their garden. It’s almost all native trees, shrubs, perennials, and ground covers. He’ll tell us how they did it… and have continued to refine it.  

All are welcome.  

Neal’s books will be available for purchase at the event.
