Through Dr. Reichard’s own experience in her garden, the scientific literature, and the audience’s shared experiences, we will explore this conundrum.

She is the author of *The Conscientious Gardener: Cultivating a Garden Ethic* (University of California Press) and co-editor of *Invasive Species in the Pacific Northwest* (University of Washington Press). She studies the biology of both rare and invasive species. Each month Tahoma Audubon offers a free presentation on a variety of environmental topics, drawing from regional speakers and members. Topics range from local birding to international conservation to eco-travel to local conservation issues. Meetings are free and open to the public.
