Please join us at the Cape St Claire Clubhouse Friday , February 9th at 7:30 pm (doors open at 7:00 pm) to hear Nancy Lawson, author of the Humane Gardener, tell us how you can learn to garden more humanely through the use of native plants, avoiding unintentional dangers to wildlife, creative ways to eliminate invasives, preserving nesting sites and resolving conflicts with nature.

In this myth-busting talk, learn how common growing methods divide the natural world into false dichotomies and perpetuate misperceptions about the wild species living among us. Discover practical ways to put humane gardening philosophies into action by protecting wild nurseries of animals large and small, eliminating unintended hazards to wildlife, nurturing plants that provide food and shelter, and humanely resolving conflicts with mammals and other commonly misunderstood creatures.
