We're shaking things up this year and combining our beloved annual tree giveaway with our always-a-good-time annual fundraiser for a can't miss afternoon in October! Join us October 26th for a family-friendly celebration including food, drinks, live music, raffles, and - of course - free trees!

The gardening season may be at an end, but it doesn’t mean the garden has to be absent of life and beauty. Winter structure for beauty and habitat for stem nesting insects will be discussed. We will reflect on the season, learn how to assess it throughout winter and plan for continued growth in spring. Additional topics will include winter pruning and how to identify rodent and winter damage.

We are excited to again be partnering with Villanova’s Center for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Stewardship (CBEST) after the tremendous success of last year’s event, attended by over 200 students, faculty, and community members. This year, the theme "partnerships for success” will explore how different organizations within our communities work together to achieve results greater than if they’d gone it alone.

In partnership with the Radnor Twp. Environmental Advisory Council, join us for a visually stunning lecture by naturalist Mike Weilbacher on the emerging importance of fungi in solving critical ecological and environmental issues. We'll explore their remarkable abilities to detoxify pollution, enrich biodiversity, create sustainable alternatives in clothing and packaging, and even remediate climate change. You’ll be surprised and amazed by the intricate, often unseen, processes by which these unsung alchemists are quietly revolutionizing environmental stewardship.
