with Edwina von Gal Thursday, June 15, at 7:30 pm on Zoom – or join us in person at the Emanuel Synagogue (160 Mohegan Drive, West Hartford) at 7 pm FREE for members, $10 non member donation Our obsession with tidy, clean landscapes is proving to be harmful to the things and the ones we love. How can we let nature play a role in how we perceive, design, and maintain our human-dominated landscapes? Ms. von Gal’s lecture considers the rewards of gardening with nature—not against it. She will also discuss the new Earth Equity movement, which seeks ethical, social and environmental equity for human and non-human lives, and the systems that support them. Edwina von Gal is the founder of the Perfect Earth Project, a non-profit organization in East Hampton, NY, that raises consciousness about the dangers of synthetic lawn and garden chemicals to humans, animals, and the environment, and educates homeowners and professionals about natural, PRFCT (toxic-free) techniques that provide beautiful, safe results at no extra cost. The principal of her eponymous landscape design firm since 1984, her work has been published in many major publications and her book Fresh Cuts won the Quill and Trowel award for garden writing in 1998.
