Annual Meeting With Speaker Carolyn Summers

Growing Leaves for Lepidoptera: It’s Not Just About the Flowers.
Meet fellow gardeners and hear Carolyn Summers speak at our annual meeting.
About this Event

Carolyn will talk about the value of leaves to biodiversity and why you should consider leaves when planting for wildlife, especially caterpillars. As gardeners, our focus is often on the flowers to the exclusion of the leaves. We plan according to the bloom cycle but neglect the seasonal beauty of leaves. Carolyn will talk about the ways you can design your landscape with a focus on both leaves and flower blooms.

Carolyn Summers is co-founder of Go Native U and is author of Designing Gardens with Flora of the American East. Carolyn’s 300-acre Flying Trillium Gardens and Preserve in the Catskills is open to the public by appointment.

The Annual Meeting of Wild Ones Mid-Hudson Valley will follow Carolyn’s talk.

• You will learn more about our work and opportunities to get involved.
