Walk & Talk: Exploring the Natural Beauty of Tower Hill

Wednesday, July 8 | 3:00 PM
Tower Hill Community – West Side Walking Tour

Join us for an engaging Walk & Talk through the Tower Hill community led by University of Delaware garden experts, Master Gardeners, and Master Naturalists. This interactive outdoor experience will explore the beautiful wildflower meadows, ponds, and open spaces that make Tower Hill a unique and naturally inspired community.

As we walk through the west side of the community, presenters will discuss the environmental, ecological, and community benefits of incorporating more natural landscapes into residential neighborhoods. Residents will gain insight into how thoughtfully designed open spaces can support pollinators, improve water quality, encourage biodiversity, and create a healthier, more sustainable environment for all.

The discussion will be approached from both a Master Gardener and Master Naturalist perspective, offering practical knowledge and a deeper appreciation for the role native landscapes play in our everyday surroundings.

Presenters include:

Tracy Wooten, Master Gardener
Blake Moore, University of Delaware
John Emerson, University of Delaware
Tower Hill’s Land Development & Engineering Director, Smith Purdum will also join the walk to provide additional insight into the community’s landscape planning and environmental initiatives.

Come enjoy an educational afternoon outdoors while discovering the natural beauty and purpose behind Tower Hill’s open spaces.

This class will be held on Wednesday, July 8th at 3:00 pm. We will meet at the Clubhouse great room. We will promptly head out for our walk at 3:00 pm. It's recommended that you bring water for the walk or a bottle to use at the refill station inside the clubhouse. You may also want to consider a hat, sunscreen and bug spray.
