The Middlesex Fells Reservation has an impressive diversity of 30 different habitat types that spring from its unique geology, topography, hydrology, soil, and climate. These habitats support a rich biodiversity that is unusual for a metropolitan setting. Learn about the flora and how these local plant communities can enlighten the design of our own gardens.
Dr. Bryan Hamlin is the lead author of a nine-year study of the Fells’ flora, and is President of the New England Botanical Club. Hear him speak on Wednesday, February 5 at 7 pm at the Cambridge Public Library, 449 Broadway, Cambridge. The lecture is free and open to the public. Photo from www.amcboston.org.
