Join noted landscape designer Kevin Doyle and a coastal ecologist for a guided walk along the shore at low-tide to look at native shore plants in their natural habitat. Then you’ll tour Kevin’s own remarkable Kingston seaside garden, gaining an understanding of the practical and ecological considerations of gardening close to the ocean’s edge.
