Description of Talk: An amazing diversity of natural habitats occurs from the fall line in central Georgia to the extreme the mountain balds of Tennessee and North Carolina. These habitats support a wide variety of plant and animal communities, which in turn provide valuable lessons in understanding the habitats in our own “back yards.”
Bio of Speaker: Karen Lindauer is an avid gardener and strong advocate for native plants. Following early retirement from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, she and her husband moved from Morningside to Tucker, where they bought a home on nearly 2 acres. Aside from many beautiful hardwoods and a few azaleas, the property was a blank slate. Over the next 16 years, many wildflowers, shrubs and small trees were added, many from native plant rescues. When her husband’s failing health necessitated selling the Tucker home, they were fortunate to find a buyer who appreciated the very special property. She now gardens and enjoys the benefits of a native forest at Wesley Woods Towers. She is a member of the Georgia Native Plant Society, the Georgia Botanical Society, and the Atlanta Audubon Society.
