The Delaware Botanic Gardens will host its first lecture in the newly constructed Annette Pennoni Garden Pavilion on Wednesday, Oct. 23, at 5 p.m.
Entomologist and New York Times bestselling author Doug Tallamy will present a talk on his newest book, “How Can I Help: Saving Nature with Your Yard.” Tallamy will share practical ways to support biodiversity and conservation at home through planting native species, leaving fallen leaves for wildlife and other nature-friendly practices. A Q&A session will follow the lecture, and light refreshments will be provided.
“We all admire seasonal flowers, but Doug Tallamy helps us embrace the deeper story — how each plant, leaf and wild corner of our gardens sustains life. I’m thrilled to welcome Doug to be the first guest speaker in our new pavilion. Join us as we share this important conversation of bio-diversity with our community,” said Deputy Executive Director of Horticulture Stephen Pryce Lea.
As a special bonus, 30 early ticket purchasers will be randomly selected for an exclusive “walk-and-talk” with Tallamy and Pryce-Lea. Eligible tickets must be purchased by Sept. 30 at 6 p.m., and winners will be contacted shortly thereafter.
