In many ways, our modern Homo sapiens brains are nothing more than “Caveman brains in a modern world.”

Join us and guest expert, Nick Coley, Native Plant Nursery Owner and Consultant, to explore how we can craft better gardens through understanding our biological selves and our evolutionary past.

We invite you to come with your own thoughts and answers to these questions: 

How would you describe “Us”? What kind of habitat do WE need as the species Homo sapiens?And what do our brains really want out of a native garden?

This meeting is free and open to the public; just let the front gate attendant know that you are there for Wild Ones.

We will be in a classroom on the first floor of Schlitz Audubon Nature Center (past the lobby desk down the hallway to the left).
