With nearly two decades of experience, Julie has dedicated her career to creating hands-on, STEM-based lessons that resonate with both children and adults. As the President-Elect for the Pennsylvania Association of Environmental Educators and a board member of the Western PA Mushroom Club and Beverly's Birthdays, Julie is a true community leader. She even added "author" to her impressive resume with the self-published children's book, "Super Skills of Backyard Bugs," which you can find on Amazon. 
In this enlightening episode, Gabriella and Julie take us on a journey through the world of sustainable home landscaping. Julie shared her secrets on how to create a no-maintenance garden, emphasizing the importance of working with nature rather than against it. Discover why Julie is fond of bugs and learn about her popular mushroom-hunting program.
But that's not all – Julie also sheds light on the critical role of geography in your garden and why ignoring it can lead to unexpected consequences. If you're passionate about environmental conservation and want to transform your home's landscape into a thriving, eco-friendly oasis, this episode is a must-listen.
