The event will feature three speakers:

Dan Watkins will be speaking on pollinator gardens. 
Owner of Beeworks LLC, Dan has spent his life gardening, landscaping, and working closely with nature.

Laura Hart will be speaking on rain gardens and bioswales.
Laura is the Conservation Director at the Farmington River Watershed Association, leading water quality and green infrastructure initiatives.

Michelle Winkler will be speaking on invasive plants and native alternatives. 
Michelle is an Advanced Master Gardener with extensive experience in horticulture education and community outreach through the UConn Master Gardener program and as president of the Cherry Brook Garden Club.
