Did you know that native plants - once established - do not require the use of chemicals such as herbicides and pesticides to maintain their beauty? Or that they don't require extra watering from our precious supply of potable water? Did you know that our native pollinators and birds generally prefer native plants for nectaring and seed? All of this and more is presented in the movie. Hometown Habitat is also available as a two -disk set. Disc one plays the full 90- minute film. Disc two plays the film in chapters for targeted audiences such as church congregations, homeowner associations, landscape designers, nurseries, city councils, parks and recreation divisions, and land developers. Five standard community screening licenses are also available for one -time screenings, with fees based on the number of people you expect to attend. A digital download or Blu -ray will be provided for one time use.

Also available are resources to assist in getting press coverage, increasing attendance and widening the interest in planting native plants. We want to go beyond the "choir" -folks already on board with natural landscaping —and help grow a new army of habitat heroes! One way to do this is to try partnering with another organization in your community not actively involved in gardening with native plants. It could be a library, congregation, Chamber of Commerce, school or community association. Screening events are an opportunity for you to inspire attendees to plant native plants and grow your organization's membership. Don't hesitate to contact Producer /Director Catherine Zimmerman at infogthemeadowproject.com with questions or help with your event. She is available to attend screenings, to do a meet and greet, introduce the film, lead a Q & A session or be part of a panel discussion following the screening. Ordering information is available at httDs:Hthemeadowl)roject.com/store/. Thank you for being part of the effort to raise awareness about native plants and conservation landscaping.
