Join us as we discusses phenology and it’s importance in the natural world!

What is phenology? The word means “the study of phenomena” – so it literally refers to the study of things that appear or show themselves at certain times throughout the calendar year.

Lucy Ellis, City of Chattanooga Department of Natural Resources, will be discussing what phenology is and how it relates to gardening and conservation landscaping.
