Annual Membership Meeting and Special Presentation - Planting with Purpose: Creating Beauty and Wildlife Habitat

Time: Thursday, May 29, 2008 from 7- 9 pm

Location: Providence Presbyterian Church, 9019 Little River Turnpike, Fairfax, VA

RSVP at info@aububonva.org or 703-256-6895.

Join us for the Audubon Society of Northern Virginia’s annual membership meeting, an update on ASNV developments and ASNV Board of Directors elections.

You'll also hear a presentation on selecting and using native plants in our gardens to enhance their habitat potential. Rick J. Lewandowski, Director of the Mt. Cuba Center, will present us with photos and practical information on environmentally purposeful gardening.

Mt. Cuba Center is a renowned 650-acre non-profit horticultural institution in northern Delaware dedicated to the study, conservation, and appreciation of plants native to the Appalachian Piedmont Region. (See details at www.mtcubacenter.org.) Their woodland wildflower gardens are recognized as the region’s finest. Rick will share a wealth of information on how the selection and use of native plants to add beauty to our gardens, functions as an invaluable link for sustaining insect, bird, and other wildlife populations.

We are also planning a field trip to the Mt. Cuba Center! Contact us (703-256-6895 or info@aububonva.org) if you are interested in traveling with your ASNV fellow members and nature lovers for the day on a Delaware adventure.
