This isn’t a “meadow in a can” course. Interested in establishing a meadow or caring for an existing one? Join Kathy Connolly of the New England Wild Flower Society on Thursday, May 28 from 6 – 8 to discuss what a meadow is, the role of native species in a meadow, meadow ecology basics, and steps you can take right now to get started. After the lecture, you can purchase books and native seedlings grown especially for this event by the Society’s Nasami Farm Nursery. The class will take place at Nasami Farm in Whately, and costs $26 for NEWFS members and $32 for nonmembers. Register online at http://www.newfs.org/learn/our-programs/grow-your-own-meadow.
