April 8 6:30 – 8:00 pm Eagan Garden Club: “Native Plants and Attracting Pollinators to Our Landscape” – 3830 Pilot Knob Road, Eagan, MN
Join celebrated local landscape designer and president of EnergyScapes Douglas Owens-Pike for an evening of conversation centered around his new book, Beautifully Sustainable. Doug’s presentation will feature gorgeous views of gardens he has designed, installed and maintained over his 25 years following ecologically sound principles. We will learn how modify our own landscape to succeed with the least care. Doug will explain why it is critical to move away from traditional horticultural varieties to be able to attract a greater diversity of birds, butterflies and other increasingly rare pollinators. While it may seem our world is overwhelmed with strife and turmoil this will be an evening helping us imagine calmer lives, while supporting other creatures who are under assault.
Directions: The stated site on our web site is The Municipal Center; however, there are no signs near there that identify the “Municipal Center”. It is the City Hall and Police Station on the corner of Pilot Knob Road and Wescott. There is an upper and lower parking lot. You should come in the door by the upper parking lot.
