Adventures in Ecological Horticulture

SPEAKER: Rebecca McMackin, Ecological Horticulturist and Garden Designer 

For ecological horticulturist Rebecca McMackin biodiversity is central to landscape management. In her 10 years as Director of Horticulture at Brooklyn Bridge Park, Rebecca oversaw 85 acres of diverse, organic landscapes, all managed to support birds, butterflies, and soil microorganisms.

Join us to learn how to use ecological insight and experimentation to develop new management strategies – and why careful observation and documentation of the insects, birds, and other wildlife in your gardens is crucial to their success.

The lecture is free and open to the public.
