Mansfield Garden Club invites you to a captivating evening with Amy Martin, known by many as the Moonlady, author of Wild DFW: Explore the Amazing Nature Around Dallas-Fort Worth.

The author will merge fascinating nocturnal nature insights from her book with her deep knowledge of the Moon. After this talk, you’ll be a pro-level Moon watcher able to predict where it will be at any time. Understand synchrony which creates tides and causes us to only see one side of the Moon. Discover how the Moon led to life on Earth and stabilized the planet to enable human life to evolve. Discover how darkness and the Moon impact plants and wildlife, especially in urban areas. Learn how to live in tune with the Moon with gardening based on the lunar phases.
Tickets are free but required to guarantee a seat.
