Ecological Garden Cleanup and Fall Preparation

Ready to give your garden a fall refresh that's good for nature too? This two-hour session with Kaity Bevenour, a native plant specialist and owner of Parallel Nursery, walks you through practical landscape management techniques that support local wildlife while keeping your space looking neat and intentional. You'll move beyond the common advice to "leave the leaves" and learn exactly how to structure your cleanup to balance both beauty and ecological health. The program includes an indoor discussion followed by a guided walk through the botanical garden, where you'll see these sustainable practices in action. Registration is required in advance through the garden's website. Admission is $60 for members and $72 for non-members. If you need any accommodations to participate, the garden encourages you to reach out ahead of time so they can support your attendance.
