Gardening Expo - March 22-28, 2021
Gardening Green Expo "Just Garden", normally presented by Kennedy Country Gardens in Scituate will be held via Zoom this year, and the public is invited to attend. Because of this new format, the 7 lectures will each occur on a different day, and of particular interest to many of our club members is the one on March 24, "The Battle Between Native and Invasive Plants', Additionally, the lead off lecture on March 22 will feature Doug Tallamy, author of "Nature's Best Hope:, a book that many of our speakers have mentioned in their presentations. The meetings are being hosted by the North and South River Watershed Association
