Join us immediately following this week’s potluck in classroom 2 for a brief report from our meadow consultant, Tom Brightman. Tom has been assessing our meadow this fall, and will offer management strategies for optimizing its health and beauty.

Tom has been the Land Steward at Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, since 2007, where he stewards over 700 acres of forest, meadow, wetlands and agricultural lands. He helped manage the design and construction of the Route 52 and Meadow Garden ecological design and restoration projects at Longwood, and is involved in Longwood’s educational programs, strategic planning and sustainability initiatives, and community collaborations.
