It’s time to put a name to the face!  About 1-hour. Presented by Matt Valencic.

If we can answer those question\, we know whether or not they will be able to grow and thrive in our gardens… or not. Engage in the discussion about native plants and how they can be successively incorporated into our gardens. Debra will offer many examples of native plants in their habitats and in gardens.\nIn 1992\, after two other careers\, Debra turned her avocation of plant study and gardening into her full-time career. Known as “The Garden Sage”\, Debra is passionate about gardening\, sustainable garden design and the natural world\, and enjoys sharing knowledge through her writing\, public speaking\, and garden consulting in the private and public sectors. She has served on various local and national committees and boards that focus on education\, the environment\, and sustainability. She has championed those passions during her two-year term (2014-2016) as Honorary President of the Herb Society of America and as the Co-Chair of the Sustainability Committee of GardenComm. In addition\, she mentored the future of the landscape industry at Columbus State Community College for 24 years. She loves being a gardener and has packed an amazing variety of perennials\, trees\, shrubs\, and edible plants onto the 2/3-acre lot surrounding her home. \nTo register for the Zoom presentation please visit www.natureinmybackyard.clevelandaudubon.org/programs\nNature in My Backyard is a program of the\nAudubon Society of Greater Cleveland and the Shaker Lakes Garden Club\,\ntogether with the Master Gardeners of Cuyahoga County. \n  URL:https://clevelandaudubon.org/event/using-native-plants-via-zoom/ LOCATION:OH CATEGORIES:Backyard Naturalist ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://clevelandaudubon.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/DebraKnapke.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260315T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260315T150000 DTSTAMP:20260424T115930 CREATED:20260223T185010Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260223T185010Z UID:13216-1773583200-1773586800@clevelandaudubon.org SUMMARY:Raptors of NE Ohio Program DESCRIPTION:Raptors are birds that get their food by hunting other birds or mammals.  We know them as Eagles\, Hawks\, Falcons and Owls.  Some live here year-round while others visit only during the winter.  Enjoy pictures and natural history of the 19 species typically found in NE Ohio throughout the year.  About 1 hour.
