Summer Rayne Oakes, author of How to Make a Plant Love You and producer of the popular YouTube channels, Plant One On Me and Flock, will be kicking off the spring seasonal talks at Homestead Gardens with a talk called Nature’s Tapestry: Enhancing Biodiversity in Your Lawn. Summer Rayne will share the various strategies they are employing on their homestead in the Finger Lakes to bring more biodiversity and habitat potential to their lawn areas. She'll outline a spectrum of strategies that will satisfy a range of needs—from those who may not be ready or convinced they need to "rip" out their lawn entirely—to those who desire to turn their lawns into meadows.
