Greening Your Garden While Protecting the Planet
This presentation is based Joe’s popular book, The Green Gardener’s Guide; simple significant actions to protect and preserve our planet. Gardeners enjoy a connection with the earth unlike anyone else. Ironically as we create and maintain beautiful gardens and landscapes, many unknowingly are doing so in a way that is harmful to our environment. Updated for Master Gardeners and with new information, in his highly popular presentation, Joe Lamp’l will entertain and stimulate your thinking as he shares seven significant concepts we all can do right now to make our gardens and community ‘greener’ while protecting the planet too.
