| Gardening with Native Plants: Why it Matters |
| Native plants are increasingly recognized as important to our gardens and landscapes, but why? Claudia Thompson will give us an overview of their essential role in ecosystem health – starting with the concept of co-evolution between plants and animals, and ending with a tour of her 7,000 square foot garden in Cambridge, MA. |
| Ms. Thompson is the Founder and President of Grow Native Massachusetts, established in 2010 as the culmination of an extensive career in the environmental sector. She began her career as a teacher committed to getting students out into the field. In recent decades, she has served as Director of Education for the AMC and Director of Drumlin Farm. |
| Hosted by Pat Brinkman, Mary Lou Gauvin, Susan Hardin, Jane Solar. |
