Join us March 14th in the Fletcher Room at the Fletcher Free Library, 6:00 - 8:00 pm, with garden devotees and enthusiasts to learn how to increase pollinator habitat as well as provide sanctuary for endangered and threatened plants of Vermont. We will meet some plant species which can diversify the landscape you inhabit, and the insects and animals who benefit from their presence. We will also review some of the threatened and endangered plants of Vermont and their habitat preferences. Educational curriculum accompanying these botanical wonders, and a botanist’s views on rewilding and a balanced approach to ‘emerging natives’ are also areas we may explore depending upon the group flow.

This event is family-friendly and by donation - we suggest $10 to support our awesome guest instructors and our ongoing workshop/presentation development.
