BREWSTER, MA ­ As part of the Gardening for Life 
Speaker Series, the Friends of the Cape Cod 
Museum of Natural History and Association to 
Preserve Cape Cod present Landscaping with Native 
Plants: Healing Our Home Turf with Karen 
Bussolini Sunday, April 10, 2016 at 1pm at CCMNH 
869 Main St./Rte. 6A in Brewster.

  Karen Bussolini is a lifelong organic gardener 
and lover of nature. Her presentation is as much 
about ecological thinking and the importance of 
recognizing that our yards are part of an 
ecosystem, as it is about plants. She believes 
that everything we do on our home turf can heal 
and support that ecosystem or unknowingly cause damage.

Karen will show a variety of attractive home 
landscapes based on natural systems and using 
native plants, especially shrubs and trees. She 
will also highlight specific native plants that 
commonly grow in the Eastern United States and 
make fine landscape plants, but are often 
overlooked or cleared to make way for exotic 
specimens. Readily available native plants that 
thrive in this region will be highlighted, 
including plants that are adapted to difficult 
conditions, such as rocky slopes, poor soil, shade and damp areas.

Karen has a long career as a garden photographer, 
speaker and writer, and is a frequent contributor 
to The American Gardener, the magazine of The 
American Horticultural Society and Wildflower, 
published by The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower 
Center. She has six books to her credit, 
including The Naturescaping Workbook, The 
Homeowner’s Complete Tree and Shrub Handbook, and 
Elegant Silvers, which she also co-authored. She 
is a NOFA Accredited Organic Land Care 
Professional with an eco-friendly garden coaching 
practice devoted to teaching homeowners to garden 
more sustainably. Her focus is on creating 
healthy yards that are resilient, full of life, diversity and delight.
