April 1, 2025 – Stone Ridge, NY – SUNY Ulster invites members of the community to Adventures in Ecological Horticulture, a lecture by Rebecca McMackin on April 8 at 2 pm in the College Lounge on the Stone Ridge Campus.

Perfect for gardeners, photographers, architects, and landscape admirers, among others, the Elizabeth Gross Lecture series at SUNY Ulster is sponsored by the Ulster Garden Club and made possible by the Ulster Community College Foundation. The event is free and open to the public.

For ecological horticulturist Rebecca McMackin, biodiversity is central to landscape management. In her 10 years as Director of Horticulture at Brooklyn Bridge Park, Rebecca oversaw 85 acres of diverse, organic landscapes, all managed to support birds, butterflies, and soil microorganisms.

 Learn how to use ecological insight and experimentation to develop new management strategies – and why careful observation and documentation of the insects, birds, and other wildlife in your gardens is crucial to their success.

The Elizabeth Gross Horticultural Series at SUNY Ulster is made possible through a bequest received by the Ulster Garden Club from long-time club member and Kingston resident, Mrs. Elizabeth Gross. The Ulster Garden Club made a charitable gift to the Ulster Community College Foundation, Inc. to establish the lecture series in her honor.

 The series presents expert lecturers in the fields of horticulture, floriculture, landscape design, forestry, city planning, land management, botany, conservation and environmental studies.

The Ulster Community College Foundation, Inc. is a not-for-profit organization providing enhanced educational and cultural opportunities at SUNY Ulster. Fundraising initiatives support scholarships, arts and culture, technology, and innovation in academic programs.

For further information, please contact Pat Clarke at (917) 817-3246 or Anne Shultz at (845) 419-9870.
