SUMMARY:Reid Chapter meeting & presentation:  “Unbecoming a Gardener – Steps for Creating a Lower-Maintenance Landscape” by Dale Batchelor (Raleigh)
DESCRIPTION:“Ecology is a far cry from horticulture.” – Sara Stein, Noah’s Garden.\nAmong the benefits touted for gardening with native plants is their adaptation to existing soils and climate. Unfortunately, many traditional landscape practices undermine this inherent connection leading to less resilient plantings and, ultimately, more work for the gardener. A better model for those who want to lessen maintenance requirements is stewardship, working closely with the existing ecosystem to develop plantings that are both sustainable and easier to maintain.\nDrawing on the teachings of sustainable gardening experts and using examples from her own and clients’ gardens, Dale shares basic strategies for developing landscapes that are less dependent on their creators. These gardens support biodiversity while also meeting the needs of the humans who inhabit them.\nRegistration  ( https://northcarolinanativeplantsociety.wildapricot.org/event-6521531 )required, cap of 50.  NCNPS members have priority until January 25.\n
