Educational Lectures

Our mission includes educating and engaging the public on environmental stewardship, conservation and sustainable landscapes.  To this end we sponsor an Educational Lecture Series for our community.

Join us Thursday April 12th where David Hughes, RLA and Owner of WeatherWood Design, will present.  With 35 years of experience, David specializes in native plant-based garden design and ecological habitat conservation.  His work thoughtfully blends human needs with nature’s needs, creating landscapes that are both beautiful and ecologically balanced. 

 

Stay tuned for details on our next educational lecture in April 2026. 

We had a fantastic turnout for the return of our Educational Lecture Series in October — 75 attendees joined us to hear from Dan Bangert, leader of the Grounds Team at Pennsylvania Hospital. 
 
Dan shared insights on creating garden environments that inspire connection and healing, reminding us how thoughtfully designed plantings can nurture both body and spirit. He generously donated his speaker fee to the Bucks Beautiful Scholarship Fund, which supports students studying horticulture.
 

A special highlight of the evening — Dan connected with audience member Michael Flanagan by sharing a cutting from Albert Einstein’s begonia, continuing its remarkable legacy.
