Create a Biodiverse Garden for Ecological Resilience
Friday, April 18, 2014; 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm
North Branch Nature Center; Elm St., Montpelier
In this presentation, you will learn strategies for creating more beautiful and biodiverse
gardens. Biodiversity is the foundation of ecological soil, plant, and pest management, and
thus, ecological resilience. In our gardens, we can better manage our soil and better design
vegetative architectures to promote beneficial organisms and suppress pests. When we use soil
and plant strategies to build in preventative pest suppression, we build in ecological resilience.
Since 1989, Wendy Sue Harper has taught ecological agriculture, soil science, and composting
to college students, farmers, and gardeners. Dr. Harper’s business, WSH Consulting, provides
educational and technical services to the farming and gardening community. Currently, she
teaches agricultural biodiversity at Green Mountain College’s Master of Science in Sustainable
Food Systems.
