The Sustainable City Series: Gardening & Landscaping

October 12, 2007

Community Involvement, Downtown

I’m not exactly sure what The Sustainable City Series is and Google has failed me but the flyer (PDF) I received in my inbox made this sound like an interesting event so I thought I’d pass it along.

Through the use of native plantings, rain barrels and other tools and techniques we can
conserve resources while enhancing our natural surrounds. Please join us for an evening of
discussion focused on how homeowners, business owners and related professionals can create
healthy and resilient landscaped spaces that are beautiful, environmentally responsive, functional,
manageable and enduring.

GUEST SPEAKERS:
Claude Stephens, Education Director – Bernheim Arboretum and Research Forest
Jeneen Wiche, Host of NPR’s “HomeGrown”
Margaret Shea, Owner – Dropseed Native Plant Nursery
Phyllis Croce, Landscape Restoration Specialist – Metropolitan Sewer District
Thursday, November 1, 6:00 pm
The Urban Design Studio, 507 S 3rd Street
Due to limited space, please send your RSVP to udslouisville@gmail.com or call 502.587.7015.
This event is free to the public and appetizers will be served!

    Just a note… the Sustainable City Series on Gardening and Landscaping will be at Glassworks instead of the Urban Design Studio (UDS). We have had so many RSVPs for this event that the UDS could not possibly accommodate everyone. Thanks.
