Living with Climate Chaos: Planting for Ecological Benefit & Garden Plans for the Shelburne Town Offices Pocket Park
February 20 @ 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm
Are you wondering what’s happening with the former pond garden at the Shelburne Town Offices? Are you curious about how to bring ecological benefit to your home landscape? Are you looking for a dose of environmental optimism? In this public talk, UVM painting professor and landscape designer Steve Budington shares the planting design for Spring ’25 renovations at the Shelburne Town Offices pocket park. Inspired by meadow and shrubland landscapes, the new gardens feature naturalistic and ecological gardening practices meant to benefit and nourish humans, wildlife, and soil. As part of our Climate Chaos series put on in partnership with the Shelburne Climate and Energy Committee, Budington shares how the landscapes of our home and built environments can support positive ecological change.
