Building a backyard habitat for wildlife in the city can
bring rewards for both the watershed and the gardener. Alison Gillespie will discuss
how to create
an urban oasis where many kinds of birds, butterflies and bees can thrive. She will
also discuss some of the special
challenges that urban landowners face, and review some of the techniques
conservation gardeners employ to help their local watersheds.  Attendees will also
have the chance to venture outside as Alison explores the native plants and rain
 gardens around the George Washington House.
Alison Gillespie writes about science and the environment
from her home in Silver Spring, Maryland. Her pieces have appeared in national and
regional magazines, and for
more than a decade she has penned a column about backyard wildlife in the Voice
newspapers of Takoma Park, Silver Spring and Kensington, known as the Sligo
Naturalist. As a garden coach, she also
helps those who want to foster the habitat and conservation potential of their
yards. She believes that small, urban
yards can have a big, positive impact on both the planet and their owners.  Her 
blog can be found at www.whereyouareplanted.blogspot.com [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1103172515224&s=6585&e=001n98YVbHy2tYnRRzqWWPeQjeDm5OpqrxeCNPkh7LANxy9bDr7MFwjXnFwD0rf4HL8NyelAPPI2A2GSXNLYjmrMC0-J-za341Wnu25-TA1_66lld5otgKSbggGgmbBx9gmNjTrNNWxMlg=].
