Karen Bussolini is a lifelong organic gardener and lover of nature. She had a long career as a garden photographer, speaker and writer before establishing a practice as an eco-friendly garden coach.
Naturescaping is landscaping with nature – attracting and sustaining wildlife, using native and well-adapted plants, using resources wisely, and avoiding environmental pollution. But it also means landscaping like nature. Nobody plants, waters or fertilizes the forest or the prairie, yet they survive beautifully on their own. Naturescaping, also called Ecological landscaping, creates self-sustaining (low-maintenance) landscapes that function like nature.
Everything comes from somewhere, everything goes somewhere and it’s all connected. Karen will present big-picture ecological thinking, nitty-gritty how-to tips along with images of sustainable yards and gardens that serve the needs of the people who use them, look attractive and function as small ecosystems.

Lush by Natasha Friend
Natasha Friend's novel about a girl whose father is an alcoholic and how she and her family learn to deal with his condition. It's hard to be a 13-year-old girl. But it's even harder when your father's a drunk. It adds an extra layer to everything — your family's reactions to things, the people you're willing to bring home, the way you see yourself and the world. For Samantha, it's something that's been going on for so long that she's almost used to it. Only, you never get used to it. Especially when it starts to get worse...

The Night Compass
by Amanda Foody
As the election for Grand Keeper looms closer, the villainous Audrian Keyes returns. He claims he has the secret to finding Navrashtya, the Legendary Beast of the Tundra who’s been missing for centuries. And so a team of specialized Lore Keepers must undertake a desperate mission: find her first, no matter the cost.
But the uncharted regions of the Tundra hold countless dangers, from the monstrous Beasts to the brutal cold, yet far more chilling mysteries await them out on the ice caps. Like why Navrashtya went missing in the first place. Or the truth behind this strange Lore that only Barclay can feel, whose power might very well save the mission—or doom it.

Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
Far in the future, the World Controllers have created the ideal society. Through clever use of genetic engineering, brainwashing and recreational sex and drugs, all its members are happy consumers. Bernard Marx seems alone in feeling discontent. Harbouring an unnatural desire for solitude, and a perverse distaste for the pleasure of compulsory promiscuity, Bernard has an ill-defined longing to break free. A visit to one of the few remaining Savage Reservations, where the old, imperfect life still continues, may be the cure for his distress.…

“It’s a Bird, It’s a Plane – No, It’s an Eagle!” with Ginny Apple, CT Master Wildlife Conservationist
Ginny Apple is a Master Wildlife Conservationist with the State Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, for which she gives almost 100 talks yearly and volunteers monitoring the local bear population.
Bald eagles were once so endangered that many considered whether to replace them as America’s national symbol. The ongoing story of their recovery as a species and CT’s healthy eagle population is a comeback story worth hearing.
Join us for a talk about these magnificent birds of prey that so fascinate onlookers, and their valuable contributions to our ecosystem. Ginny’s talk on the bald eagle and its resurging population in Connecticut will be accompanied by a slideshow presentation.
