Glory of GoldenrodsWith their stunning yellow flowers, goldenrods are one of the hallmark plants of autumn. But they do more than delight the eye. From bees and wasps to caterpillars and butterflies, goldenrods support hundreds of insects and deserve a place in your garden. Join us to learn how goldenrod can add beauty and biodiversity to any landscape! Samantha Nestory is the engagement manager and naturalist at Stoneleigh: a natural garden in Villanova. Her background includes work with Sarver Ecological, an ecological consulting firm, and Morris Arboretum and an MS in Entomology from the University of Delaware. She is passionate about native plants, ecological gardening and insect conservation and strongly committed to educating the public about these important issues. |
