SUMMARY:Science Speaker Series: Nancy Lawson
DESCRIPTION:World of Discovery: How science and heart can make you a more e
 cological gardener\n\nwith Nancy Lawson \; nature writer\, habitat consul
 tant\, frequent speaker\, and founder of The Humane Gardener\, LLC\n\nOur 
 outdoor surroundings are vibrant realms\, places where many languages are 
 spoken\, sometimes in sensory alphabets we’ve only just begun to deciphe
 r. Much has been written about gardening for human senses\, but how do pla
 nts and animals perceive the world around them? What do we miss when we la
 ndscape for human visual appeal but neglect the sensory experiences of our
  wild neighbors? Along with conventional landscaping practices\, noise\, l
 ight and odor pollution can have many unintended consequences. Through sci
 ence\, heart\, and our powers of observation\, we can learn to mitigate th
 ese disruptions and create sensory refuges for the increasingly displaced 
 flora and fauna who share our world.\n\nCost: Free for members or with pai
 d admission\nTICKETS\nAbout the speaker:\nNancy Lawson is the author of Th
