Gardens Alive: Elevating Our Landscapes Through Ecology

February 25, 2025, 11 a.m., Talbot County Free Library, 100 W. Dover St., Easton

In the face of a rapidly changing world, modern horticulture is increasingly focused on creating gardens that support wildlife through native plants and sustainable landscape practices. At Stoneleigh, a natural garden in Villanova, PA, beauty and biodiversity are the pillars of transforming a former estate garden into a resilient garden that nurtures the natural world. Join Stoneleigh’s engagement manager. Samantha Nestory, to explore the diverse and creative ways native plants are used at Stoneleigh, how ecology plays into garden design and management, and how even incremental changes in the landscape can impact our native wildlife in significant ways.
