Case Study:

Meet Shirley Stark, a homeowner from Lemoine, PA. Shirley's plan to transform a typical suburban yard of turf grass into an English country garden took a whole new direction when she discovered the impacts her plans could have on local waterways.

Through Shirley's experience, you'll learn that beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder: what we perceive as beautiful landscapes can actually be full of invasive species, while "wilder" natural natural gardens are diverse habitats that attract various insect and bird species -- while also improving water quality in the streams that lead to the Chesapeake Bay.
