The Public is invited to the GIGC October Meeting
October 11 — Go Native! Incorporating Native Plants into Your Landscape
Location: Macomber Room Time: Refreshments – 6:30PM Program – 7PM Note to members: The New Castle community is invited to this evening program. Masks are recommended since the space does not accommodate social distancing. Check the website for updates and whether or not a zoom hybrid will be available. There will be no general meeting. Presenter Sheila Steele is a retired science educator and a UNH Extension Master Gardener with a passion for native plants. She’ll discuss what native plants are, why they are important to add to existing and new landscapes and where to purchase them. Sheila will show beautiful examples of native plants incorporated into gardens - and even containers. She hopes her presentation will inspire attendees to make small changes in their gardens with native plants. As an added bonus, a lucky participant will receive Sheila’s favorite gardening book as a door prize. We hope you can join us! |
