SEYM Friendly Gardening

Jul 27, 2023 | Earthcare, News

Beverly Ward, SEYM Field Secretary for Earthcare, has created a short video on ‘SEYM Friendly Gardening.’ In this short tutorial, she talks about xeriscaping, pollinator habitats, rain gardens, and other features of eco-friendly landscaping, using examples from meetinghouses in SEYM along with other sites. The video was inspired by Kody Hersh and the Quakers of Orlando Property Committee, who consulted Beverly for re-designing their meetinghouse grounds.
