VSDC Lunch n Learn: Compassionate Gardening

Hi everyone, please join us for a (Vegan) Lunch n Learn session about Compassionate Gardening, presented by Michelle. The presentation will be about 45 minutes long followed by Q&A and discussions. Michelle is an avid native-plant gardener and nature lover who has transformed her conventional yard into a haven for wildlife. She will share with us fascinating facts about backyard fauna, explain why native plants are key to animal well being and biodiversity, and steps you can take to protect local wildlife, even if you don’t have a yard of your own. Finally, she will discuss how native-plant gardening relates to veganism and how one can practice animal-rights activism within the gardening community.
