Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Conserving Carolina, The Gardening For Life Project and the Congregational Church UCC of Tryon are inviting the community to a free movie night.

“Hometown Habitat: Stories of Bringing Nature Home,” will show at the Tryon Theater on Tuesday, August 22 at 7 p.m.

Award-winning director Catherine Zimmerman and her film crew traveled across the country to visit Hometown Habitat heroes who are reversing detrimental impacts on the land and in the water of major U.S. watersheds, one garden at a time. 

In the film, Catherine and crew introduce us to experts who share the science behind how today’s ‘native-plants-know-best’ enthusiasts, landscape architects, and conservation groups are helping others appreciate the benefits of low-maintenance, seasonally dynamic and eco-healthy landscapes.

The stories they tell through their travels touch on all aspects of the benefits of native plants and bring to light a sense of community that makes conservation landscaping possible. The message will inspire you – all of us have the power to support habitat for wildlife and bring natural beauty, through native landscaping, to our patch of the Earth. 

Space is limited for the showing and pre-registration is required. The Box Office and theatre will be open at 6:30 p.m. Please arrive before 7 p.m. to allow time for check-in, concessions and finding your seat.
