Speaker Series Presented by LCEC: Gardening in Southwest Florida @ Online
Mar 2 @ 4:00 pm – 5:30 pm

Jenny will discuss how your yard can be so much more while still being attractive, including being a place to conserve our natural resources
Our yards are often viewed as simply a way to approve the appearance of our house. In this presentation, Jenny will discuss how your yard can be so much more while still being attractive, including being a place to conserve our natural resources and a refuge for local wildlife.
About the Speaker: Jenny Evans has been a longtime lover of plants and the natural world. She came to the horticultural world in a roundabout way, with undergraduate training in biology and theatre (costume design) from Mary Washington College in Virginia, and a graduate degree in public garden management from Cornell University in New York. Since 2005, she has been the manager of the Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation’s (SCCF’s) Native Landscapes & Garden Center and recently became SCCF’s Native Landscapes & Adult Education Director. Jenny has always enjoyed teaching people about the natural world and helping them to make the connection between plants, people, and wildlife

Chris Rand is a teacher, actor, coach, student, and glutton for self-imposed punishment. When the school year ends he puts on his trusty pack and wanders across the countryside as a thru-hiker of the Colorado, Appalachian, and Continental Divide trails. Chris rejoins his wildly funny friends onstage and hope you enjoy the fun as well!
Lucy Sundby has been performing with Improv troops around the US for 19 years. She has studied with Chicago City Limits, The Improv Nerd, Jimmy Carrane and Kevin MacDonald from The Kids in The Hall. On rof her favorite Improv experiences was at The Alliance for the Arts in The World Premiere of Dexter The Improv Musical along side Darkly Dreaming Dexter writer Jeff Lindsay.
Julian Sundby is a producer, music director and improv/jazz pianist who calls Ft. Myers home. He was introduced to improv comedy by his talented wife, Lucy Sundby and has been using the techniques regularly with their two children to improvise ways of getting them to listen. He studied music, Spanish and Business at Undiana University and Edison State College, is a full-time parent, worship leader and producer for the Fort Studios.
