New England contains a rich and unusual diversity of ferns. In this September 6 New England Wild Flower Society class at Garden in the Woods in Framingham, students discuss their significance and how to identify those most common to the region. A lecture includes slides, laminated specimens, and microscopic details. Afterward, participants explore the Garden’s extensive collection of ferns. Bring any ferns for identification. The lecture, by Don Lubin, takes place from 10 – 1, and is $40 for NEWFS members, $48 for nonmembers. Register online at www.newenglandwild.org.

Wednesday, September 19, 12:00 noon – 4:00 pm, and Thursday, September 20, 10:00 am – 4:00 pm – It’s Elementary – Back To School

by

Village Garden Club of Dennis presents It’s Elementary – Back to School, a small standard flower show, on Wednesday, September 19 from noon – 4 and Thursday, September 20, from 10 – 4, at the West Dennis Graded (sic) School, 67 School Street in Dennis. The two story Greek Revival building was built in 1867, and is the only one of five schools built by the town in that period to survive. In the 1920s the building also served as a polling place and a site for town meetings. It was converted for use as a community center in the 1950s. The school was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000. The show will include many categories of both horticulture and floral arrangements. A $5 donation is suggested.
