The Rockfall Foundation of Middlesex County is hosting Sustainable Beauties: An Evening with Tom Christopher on June 1, 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm at the deKoven House Community Center.
Middlesex County resident Tom Christopher is a nationally recognized book author, magazine columnist and, in recent years, inveterate blogger on all things gardening, green and sustainable. A graduate of the New York Botanical Garden's School of Professional Horticulture, he has written for 25 years for a wide range of publications, including the New York Times, Martha Stewart Living and Britain's Daily Telegraph.
This year he has two new books published: The New American Landscape: Leading Voices on the Future of Sustainable Gardening (Timber Press); and The Artful Garden: Creative Inspiration for Landscape Design (Random House), co-authored with landscape architect, James van Sweden.
The evening will include a presentation by Tom on the challenges and opportunities he finds in the emerging generation of American gardens, his new works, audience questions and conversation, and an informal reception. Copies of Tom's books will be available for purchase (checks only, please.)

The Rockfall Foundation supports environmental education, conservation programs and planning initiatives in Middlesex County. Established in 1935, it is one of Connecticut’s oldest environmental organizations whose mission is to be a catalyst-- bringing people together and supporting organizations to conserve and enhance the county’s natural environment. Rockfall awards grants each year to organizations, schools and municipalities, and continues to hold and manage open space property in the county.
