The Lewisboro Garden Club is hosting this presentation by landscape architect Lisa Turoczi, owner of Earth Tones Native Plant Nursery in Woodbury CT.

Earth Tones, LLC is a 100% native plant nursery that offers grasses, ferns, perennials, shrubs and trees that are native to New England. They also provide landscape design, installation, and consultation services as well as storm water management and wetland enhancements, all with a focus on environmentally sound practices.
