Joe Lamp'l Will Share Gardening Tips With Alpharetta Residents

The Alpharetta Natural Resources Commission will host a Wild Ideas for Your Backyard event next month.

The event will be held at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 7 at The Metropolitan Club located at 5895 Windward Parkway in Alpharetta.

It will be an evening of gardening tips and strategies with Joe Lamp’l, the host and producer of public television’s award-winning show Growing a Greener World.

The event is part of Alpharetta’s Wild Side, a project to certify Alpharetta as a Community Wildlife Habitat.

“The certification, awarded by the National Wildlife Federation, encourages families and businesses in our city to use native plants in creating habitats for pollinators and other animals that benefit our ecosystem,” said Howard Salk, an NRC member and project coordinator. “We’re excited to have Joe share his vast knowledge of gardening with us. Joe isn’t just an expert gardener, he’s a Georgia resident. He’ll be able to explain how homes and businesses in Alpharetta can create gardens or other small spaces that will feed and shelter the kind of wildlife people want to see in their yard.”

Call (678) 297-6200 to reserve your seat.
