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.

It's a day for native plants! Streamline your spring plant shopping by 
coming to the Friends of the National Arboretum Native Plant Sale. This 
group sale features regional nurseries offering an extensive selection 
of native plants, and growers will be on hand to offer garden 
information. Most vendors accept cash or checks only. Free admission.

Visit the native plant sale at the National Arboretum in the morning and 
then take the short drive over to AWS for Alison's talk!
