Doc & Talk at VFW: Native Plants and Homegrown National Park

Did you know that small changes in your yard can have a huge impact on biodiversity? By creating native habitat, you can help restore nature while experiencing the joy and fulfillment of connecting with the world around you.

This Doc & Talk kicked off with a screening of What's the Rush?, a documentary film about the science-based solution to the biodiversity crisis, presented by Doug Tallamy. Following the screening, chat with local experts about native plantings and make native planting "seed bombs."

About the Film: What's the Rush?
What's the Rush? is a documentary film created by renowned ecologist Doug Tallamy of Homegrown National Park, where you’ll learn:

• How biodiversity is declining, and what you can do to help

• Simple, effective ways to create habitat and support wildlife

• The personal rewards of bringing nature back home

After the 45-minute film, folks stayed for a Q&A with local experts Larkspur Design and Sophia Design to get their native planting questions answered. They also got a chance to learn how to make seed bombs for sun and shade loving native flowering plants to scatter at future
