After registration the Zoom link will be sent to the email provided. Discover the transformative power – for you and for wildlife – of building an outdoor sanctuary for all species to thrive in and enjoy. In a hidden valley tucked into an unspoiled corner of Northumberland, England lies a naturalist’s garden, developed from scratch by award-winning gardener and author Susie White, her husband and friends. This is the story of how they created a remarkable oasis, a place as alive as it is beautiful. Whatcom County's very own Paige Lanham, owner of The Garden Spot Nursery in Bellingham, will participate in the event to ask Susie questions specific to local gardeners and the native habitat of the Pacific NW. The native habitat of this region of England is similar in plant life found in the Pacific NW. Regardless of your garden location, Susie and Paige will address the universal themes of soil preparation, composting and proper plant selection to promote nurturing habitats for a variety of species of insects, birds and mammals. Susie’s vision and passion unfold as she transforms a patch of untended ground into a wildlife-friendly haven, planted with flowering perennials, trees, herbs, vegetables, and a wildflower meadow. The spaces teem with life: owls and blackbirds, bats and mice, butterflies and bees, all drawn by pollen-rich flowers, ponds, and nesting sites. Second Nature takes us through the planning and construction, and describes how she designed the garden to blend harmoniously with her natural environment. From the plants and wildlife to the structures that provide shelter and habitat, every element reflects Susie’s commitment to sustainability. Her account is filled with inspiration and practical advice for gardeners to learn from, and her deep appreciation for the natural world shines through. Susie White is a gardening and travel writer, broadcaster, wildlife photographer and lecturer. A lifelong and passionate gardener, she developed the garden at Chesters Walled Garden on Hadrian’s Wall in Northumberland. Since then she has created a garden from scratch in a hidden valley on previously uncultivated land. She is a regular contributor to the Guardian, BBC Countryfile, The English Garden, Homes and Gardens, and is garden columnist for My Weekly magazine. A member of the Garden Media Guild, and RHS speaker, she is the author of Gardens of Northumberland and the Borders.
Paige Lanham is an avid garden naturalist who promotes sustainable garden practices through the products, practices and classes offered at her trusted nursery. *Feel free to call Village Books and Paper Dreams for further assistance at 360-671-2626!*
