Start Your Day with GSWA

Harding Township — Great Swamp Watershed Association’s breakfast briefings resume on Tuesday, March 9, with “Greener Green Thumb Gardening.” Join guest speaker Beth Gantz from Madison Whole Foods to learn how to go “green” in your yard with environmentally-friendly products and lawn and garden care solutions. A local green lawn care company will also be on hand to answer your green gardening questions in this timely pre-spring growing season presentation.

Rounding out this spring’s breakfast briefings series is a presentation on April 13 entitled “Strategic Open Space & Farmland Presentation,” with guest speaker Jon Wagner, VP of Conservation Programs at Conservation Resources, Inc. Learn the basics of open space and farmland preservation planning, and take part in an interactive open space planning activity. Then on May 11, Hazel England, GSWA Director of Education & Outreach will present “Sustainable Living 101,” where participants will learn what “sustainability” means, and how simple changes in our daily lives will make our homes, yards and the community as a whole a more sustainable place.

Each breakfast briefing will take place from 8 - 9:30 a.m. at the Great Swamp Watershed Association’s offices at 568 Tempe Wick Rd., Harding Township.
