Gardening as if the World Depends on Us – A lecture by Tovah Martin

NEWBURY, NH —  Worried about the world? Find out how you can take action and with a trowel in hand, you can save the earth. Join Tovah Martin, one of this country’s best-known garden writer and lecturer, on Saturday, June 30, 10 AM at The Fells Historic Estate and Garden Gatehouse Classroom.  Gardens offer so many opportunities to link with nature and rescue the world. This lecture is filled with ideas from gardeners who rallied their acreage in backyards large and small to make a difference. From 21st Century versions of Victory Gardens to pollinator plants, native shrubs, and bird forage with scenic excursions into cover-the-earth density plantings, lawn alternatives, herbs, and drought-tolerant suggestion.

We talk about how you can ally with nature to make the world a better place for all creatures. The results are ravishing—these gardens bristle with beauty and overflow with pride.
