The ultimate revenge against insect pests is for them to be eaten by a plant!  Scott Vergara will show you how to create a suitable (and beautiful) habitat for growing our native cobra lilies and sundews, as well as Venus flytraps, Sarracenias (hardy pitchers) and other intriguing insectivorous plants.

Self Managing Leadership
2-day weekend seminar
July 15th and 16th
Cramer Hall, PSU Campus
Free of Charge

Don’t miss this unique seminar which will provide you a framework for personal life planning and re-engineering. It will empower you to realign with the changing environment and thereby develop greater self-esteem and self-control in terms of new attitudes, style and behaviour. It provides the ‘tools’ to do this with relevant mental training and change management skills.
Originally developed by international management consultants for the corporate world, the program has been licensed to the Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual Organization to facilitate individuals to develop their internal leadership skills.

Facilitator Peter Keogh from New Zealand has a background as a senior consultant and project manager with an international engineering company and has led this seminar in the UK, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Australia as well as New Zealand.

Conducted in a weekend format (9 a.m. to 5:45 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday) the seminar involves insightful lecture sessions followed by personal reflection and small group work. You will leave with a clear understanding of your purpose and values as well as a personal vision and an action plan for the future.

Why is it free? Because the world urgently needs more of us to step up to the plate, manage ourselves in the right way so as to lead others in the most effective way through these turbulent times.

Create beautiful landscapes, protect the environment and attract wildlife to your yard with Naturescaping for Clean Rivers. Naturescaping is landscaping with native plants adapted to our climate and using environmentally-friendly gardening practices. Native plants are resistant to native pests and diseases, and require less watering and less, if any, chemical application. Naturescaping can also address pollution problems by helping to control erosion, and reduce polluted runoff. During this FREE four hour workshop, view before and after Naturescaping examples, take a field trip to a nearby project, get advice on landscape design and native gardening, receive a workbook and free native plant, network with neighbors, and identify native plants. Topics include: time and maintenance benefits, reducing water pollution and water use, increasing and improving wildlife habitat, watershed stewardship, project planning, and many great Naturescaping tips.
