Join Karen DeWahl and Sophie Koven of Quiet Yards Greenwich for a presentation and discussion of green landscaping practices. They will talk about the evolution of their own Greenwich gardens, changing from gas to electric lawn maintenance and moving towards more sustainable and ecologically beneficial plant design. They will provide hands on practical advice about how to transform your yard, not matter what size, into a sanctuary for birds, pollinators and other wildlife.

Karen and Sophie will also talk about the regulation of gas powered leaf blowers in Greenwich, including the history of how that legislation came to pass, and what it means for residents and landscapers. 

This program is free of charge. No beach pass is required if you are attending the Fred Elser First Sunday Science. Please let them know at the gate you are attending the Bruce Museum Seaside Center lecture. First Sunday Science programs take place at the Floren Family Environmental Center at Innis Arden Cottage, Greenwich Point Park, Old Greenwich, CT.
