On 17 Sep 2025, Save Watertown Wildlife and Friends of Bees presented “A Gardener’s Roundtable,” hosted by Watertown Citizens for Peace, Justice and the Environment, at the Watertown Public Library. The roundtable addressed some of the challenges that can arise when gardening without chemicals, and how to maintain natural beauty in your yard while discouraging rodents and encouraging raptors. The panel had a wide-ranging discussion on balancing gardening for habitat, beauty, and rodent management.
Our expert panelists were…
- Cathy Miner Hartenstein, a professional garden designer
- Ruth Potwin, a long-time gardener and sustainability advocate
- Sarah Constantino, Public Health Officer for the City of Watertown
- Sharon Bauer, a home gardener who’s passionate about pollinators and pest control
WCA-TV, Watertown’s Public, Education, & Government Access television station, was on hand to film the panel discussion. Watch here!
