Gardening for the Planet
Join the Kennedy Garden Club for a screening of this absorbing native planting documentary.
May 18 @ 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm
The Lindsay is partnering with the Kennedy Garden Club to screen the documentary Gardening for the Planet on Sunday, May 18, at 1 p.m.
It’s easy to feel like one person can’t make a difference when it comes to combating climate change. Gardening for the Planet argues that there’s at least one easy thing we can all do to help: Make sure our lawns and gardens are brimming with native plants.
Director Joanne Hershfield’s documentary features interviews with ecologists, conservationists, nursery owners and more plant experts. The general consensus among them is that prioritizing native plants over invasive greenery helps maintain an individual space’s—and overall region’s—biodiversity.
“In an era where climate change looms large, it’s crucial to explore innovative ways to reduce our carbon footprint,” says Hershfield. “Native plant gardening is not just a beautiful addition to your landscape; it’s a powerful tool in the fight against climate change.”
Tickets for Gardening for the Planet are available for $11 via The Lindsay’s website.
