C., as well as a television host, media personality and author.

He is author of the how-to book, Attracting Birds, Butterflies and Other Backyard Wildlife.

Native Nurseries’ manager Lilly Anderson-Messec heard David speak at last summer’s Cullowhee Native Plant Conference in North Carolina. She said he was such an engaging and inspiring speaker that we had to bring him to Tallahassee. He conveyed this very valuable topic in an accessible way so that the average homeowner and the experienced gardener alike can see how important it is and how fulfilling it can be to create wildlife habitat in their own yards.

The program takes place at the FSU King Life Science Building, 319 Stadium Drive. There is easy and free parking just south of the King Building. See google map here. There will be a reception at 7pm with announcements at 7:15 followed by the guest speaker.
