We resume our speaker meetings at the Dunwoody Nature Center on September 18, 2023, beginning with one of the funniest garden experts around. Social time begins at 6:30 pm and Scott Beuerlein's talk commences at 7:30 pm.
Scott will talk on "Making Landscapes that Matter, in which he "winds and wallows in and around all kinds of things, including art, evolution, genetics, history, food, wine, and more before tying all of it together with ideas that will help us create meaningful landscapes that appeal to our human nature and support our health and well-being."
