Habitat Gardening in Maryland with Debbie Swartz

Habitat Gardening in Maryland will help gardeners make informed decisions for their outdoor spaces by understanding how our environmental system functions. Debbie will describe a practice she refers to as holistic gardening: a way of gardening that emphasizes environmental stewardship to protect biodiversity and keep our waterways clean. This philosophy of gardening involves stopping erosion, planting native plants, gardening organically, and allowing nature to cycle and work its magic.

Speaker Bio: Debbie Swartz grew up in New England where she spent a lot of her time outside in the natural world. She has been a Baltimore City Master Gardener since 2002 and is the former chair of the BayWise committee and is also an Audubon Habitat Ambassador. Debbie is certified to teach environmentally sustainable practices and writes educational material for UME. Her garden is a demonstration garden for BayWise and for Audubon. If she is going to plant something, it must feed someone, either wildlife or people!

Debbie will present for 30 minutes allowing an additional 30 minutes for questions and discussion.
