Adventures in Ecological Horticulture Sunday, May 4 @ 12 PM
Who doesn’t love butterflies? Habitat cultivation is a vital component of garden design and management in the anthropocene. But traditional landscaping practices rarely take biodiversity into consideration. For ecological horticulturist Rebecca McMackin, biodiversity is central to caring for land. In her 10 years as Director of Horticulture at Brooklyn Bridge Park, Rebecca oversaw 85 acres of diverse, organic landscapes, all managed to support birds, butterflies, and soil microorganisms. She will take lessons from her work at Brooklyn Bridge Park, the Brooklyn Museum, rural Connecticut, and decades of research to share how those of us who are fortunate enough to care for land, can do it beautifully and ecologically. (Lunch and refreshments included.)
