Don’t miss this one! WOMV vice-president, Maggie Reilly, will present her sequel to “The Power of a Compassionate Landscape” at the Hamilton College Arboretum Speaker Series. Maggie will inspire us to transform our small suburban yards into a welcoming, restorative landscape where you and others will want to spend time developing an even more meaningful connection with nature. She will discuss why it is more important than ever that we establish a reciprocal relationship with the land, becoming its guardians, while celebrating biodiversity in our own outdoor spaces.

Maggie will show us how to create our own sanctuary with a sense of enclosure, distinct destination areas or rooms, focal points, and functional spaces, surrounded by beautiful, ecological native plant communities of our ecoregion. She will present some of her favorite plant combinations as she reviews a hedgerow, foundation, and pollinator garden design.
Throughout, Maggie will reveal to us how she embraces her own ever-changing,
compassionate landscape to heal the land, build community, and share her passion for
native gardening. 

In person in the Taylor Science Center’s Kennedy Auditorium at Hamilton College, Clinton or by Zoom. Zoom registration will be available closer to the event date. Check website here. Presentation will be recorded and available after the event. 

Join Joey Santore, creator of Crime Pays But Botany Doesn’t, for a candid Wild Ones National Webinar examining how inherited garden aesthetics shape native plant landscapes. Drawing on field experience and real ecology, Joey challenges tidy design norms and explores why dense, irregular plant communities are often the most resilient and ecologically sound.
