The Ecology of Native Plants with Jason Goldman
October 28 @ 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm
In collaboration with the Sierra Club, Jersey Shore Chapter
Jason Goldman is a Monmouth County Parks System Naturalist, member of the NPSNJ Monmouth Steering Committee, founder of Flower to the People, garden designer, and ecological presenter. With a degree in ecology, Jason strives to empower others and help them become more environmentally conscious. Jason has presented to and consulted with numerous groups as well as local government.
This presentation is a deep dive exploration of native plant gardening. It is an in-depth look into the ecology of plants and animals, driving home the importance of native plants and how they support so much life around us. It is forged out of a need for deeper understanding about native plant gardening. The Ecology of Native Plants will take the audience on an exploration of the natural world right here in our own backyards. Audience members will walk away from this presentation with a better understanding of how animals and plants rely on each other, and why native plant gardening matters a great deal. You’ll leave this talk wanting to plant native everywhere!
Free pizza, subs, chips, and soft drinks are available at 6:30 p.m.
