Alexandra's deeply personal testament to the healing powers of nature will inspire how a garden can become a metaphor for life, a source of recovery, growth, and insight. Readers will appreciate Alexandra's reflections on her memoir, "Unearthed", a meditation on love, legacy and the interconnectedness with nature and how a garden is a place of transformation and discovery.
Tara will discuss the benefits of raised bed gardens that allow you to garden almost anywhere and how to create your own. Tara will inspire ideas for where to put them, what soil to use and what to plant—both edibles and don't forget ornamentals for the pollinators!
Explore the secret lives in your yard or nearby natural area. Through macros and videos, you'll see insects hatching, transforming, courting, and even farming! Butterfly expert and author Carol Pasternak will answer questions, and offer a book signing, How To Raise Monarch Butterflies. A Step-by-Step Guide for Kids, (available for purchase $10) at the end of the evening.
Presented in partnership by the Whitby in Bloom Committee and the Brooklin Horticultural Society.
