Ecological Landscaping Business Owners Panel

Time: November 16, 6 - 7:15 p.m. EST

Free | Virtual/Zoom

Conventional landscaping practices require the addition of harmful chemicals such as pesticides and fertilizers that pollute our lands and water. Some landscapers also frequently mow lawns, which results in compacted soil and less water absorption. As more intense and frequent storms become the norm, flooding and erosion are a top concern for many people. So, what can you do to manage your yard in a way that protects our water and your home? 

Join The Watershed Institute and four local business owners to discuss the benefits of ecological landscaping instead of conventional practices. These individuals all completed our Watershed Institute Green Infrastructure (WIGI) training and passed the professional certification exam. They will share with you how their approach results in cleaner water, lower maintenance costs, and reduced flooding. Additionally, the panel will talk about lessons learned and tips for homeowners for sustainable yard and stormwater management.  

We are glad to welcome four individuals with extensive backgrounds in landscaping, horticulture, and design: Britney O’Donnell (Britney O’Donnell Garden Design), Tania Gindilis (Pensive Weeds), Peter Ham (Ham Landscape Gardens LLC), and Richard McCoy (Richard A. McCoy Horticultural Services Inc) 

This event will be 100% virtual and on Zoom. Recordings will be shared with attendees after the event.
