Gardening With Nature (Sold Out)

August 20, 2022 @ 9:30 am - 12:30 pm

Our gardens and gardening practices are intrinsically tied to nature. This class will guide students through the best design and management strategies that work in unison with nature, encouraging and embracing biodiversity and sustaining healthy, low-maintenance gardens. Anna Fialkoff, Program Manager at Wild Seed Project, offers an overview of plant selection and processes for achieving beautiful gardens requiring minimal manual labor. CMBG’s display gardens will serve as a living classroom, offering a visually inspiring lesson of what you, too, can do at home.

Please note this class requires participants to show proof of having received all eligible Covid-19 vaccinations, as recommended for their age by the CDC, in order to participate. Because of the dynamic nature of this situation, we ask that you agree to abide by potential future changes in CMBG’s Covid-19 policy designed to address evolving public health recommendations.

Anna Fialkoff recently joined the Wild Seed Project in Portland, Maine after leaving her position as Senior Horticulturist at Native Plant Trust’s Garden in the Woods in Framingham, MA, where she designed and installed native plant gardens, managed interns and volunteers, and taught the public ways to incorporate native plants in their own gardens. With a BA in Human Ecology from College of the Atlantic and an MS in Ecological Design from The Conway School, she brings with her a deep knowledge of native plant ecology, horticulture, conservation, and ecological landscape design. As Wild Seed Project’s new program manager, Anna helps further its educational programming, deepen relationships with partner organizations, and catalyze the movement to rewild Maine.
