Join us for a walking tour and conversation about the ecology of an urban neighborhood and how our decisions regarding landscaping, turf, mosquito control, leaf and debris removal (or not!) affect everything from water, soil, and air quality to the food web of our entire local ecology.

The event is free and open to everyone but is limited to 25. Please register here to let us know you are coming.

In case of rain, we will have an indoor program, My Discovery of Native Plants, with Robin Davis at Get Outdoors Pedal and Paddle located at 1515 W Gate City Blvd., Greensboro, NC 27403 at 7PM

The event is in-person, free, and open to the public, but please register here to let us know you are coming.

We'd like to invite you to join us for a Native Pollinator Garden Planting Opportunity on Saturday, December 10th from 10:00 am - 1:00 pm.

We invite you to join us for this floating event on the patio at Maxie B’s as we partner with gardening experts from the Triad Chapter of the North Carolina Native Plant Society to explore and celebrate the magic of native plants! Every plant matters…come find out why!

We will share gift bags filled with native plant seedlings, a newly updated guide to native plant nurseries in our area, more information on the best native plants for our Ecoregion 8 according to Doug Tallamy, as well as other helpful and inspiring resources.

There will also be Maxie B’s desserts to nibble while you linger!

We hope you will join us Thursday, Sept 29, 2022 at 7 PM as we attend Nature's Best Hope: A Conversation with Douglas W. Tallamy presented by The Alamance County Extension Master Gardener℠ Volunteers (EMGVs) at the Paramount Theater in Burlington, NC. Author and renowned naturalist Douglas W. Tallamy will explain how, by simply adding native plants to our own backyards, we ourselves can become nature’s best hope. Recent headlines about declines in insect and bird populations in North America are a bleak reality check about how ineffective our current landscape designs have been at sustaining the plants and animals that sustain us. The good news is there’s still time! Tallamy will discuss simple steps each of us can take by adding native plants to our home landscape to increase biodiversity.

Tickets are just $5.00 for this community event sponsored by Alamance County Extension Master Gardeners and are available now at the Paramount Theater Box Office (Monday - Saturday from 12noon - 3pm), or by calling (800) 514-3849. Proceeds to benefit Alamance County native plant projects. For more information, please contact the Alamance County Cooperative Extension Office at (336) 570-6740.
