Batavia Plain Dirt Gardeners host ‘Light Bulb Revolution’ talk on environmental benefits

At their April meeting the Batavia Plain Dirt Gardeners welcomes senior landscape architect Jay Womack presenting “The Light Bulb Revolution.”

The meeting will be 6:45 to 9 p.m. Tuesday, April 21, at Batavia Public Library, 10 S. Batavia Ave. This event is free to anyone interested.

Womack will discuss how a small change provides positive results. He will review how a light bulb can improve your health, support increased insect populations, protect bird migrations, make neighborhoods safer, and reduce tensions between adjacent residents.

Womack is a senior landscape architect with GZA GeoEnvironmental. His design philosophy is rooted in a lifelong affinity for the ecosystems of the Midwest and the belief that people need to be connected to the environment, a philosophy closely aligned with Aldo Leopold’s Land Ethic. He is passionate about the environment, connecting people to nature, and developing innovative, sustainable, resilient, and “outside-the-box” solutions.
