Wednesday, June 18, 5:00 pm – 6:30 pm – The Future PRFCT: Ground Rules for Gardening in a Perfect World

Do you want to do something truly beneficial—for your family, your community, and the environment? It all starts with how you relate to your land. Join Perfect Earth Project’s Edwina von Gal in the Far Barn at the Polly Hill Arboretum in West Tisbury on June 18 for an inspiring and practical talk on ecological land care. She’ll explore what it means to work with your landscape rather than against it—eliminating toxic chemicals, reducing maintenance stress, and fostering resilience, biodiversity, and beauty. Learn how simple changes can create a healthier, more sustainable outdoor space that supports pollinators, wildlife, your pets, and you. After the talk, Edwina will be joined by local experts for an interactive Q&A and discussion. Bring your questions on topics like toxic-free lawn care, habitat creation, tick and pest management, and cost-saving alternatives to conventional landscaping.

Free. Space is limited, those who are pre-registered will be admitted first. Pre-register here.
