  • Saturday, June 15, or Wednesday, June 19, 5:30 pm – 7:45 pm – The Diversity and Ecological Value of Native Shrubs

    Please join Grow Native Massachusetts for this intensive workshop program, taught by Meredith Gallogly. June is the peak time for some of our loveliest flowering shrubs, many of which also have tremendous value as host plants for the larvae of moths and butterflies.

    Join Meredith to learn about the diverse mix of native shrub species found in Stony Brook Reservation in Hyde Park, the largest green space in the city of Boston and a hidden gem for plant lovers.

    This program will cover the basics of woody plant identification, and highlight underutilized species that have tremendous potential for use in challenging landscape settings.

    Meredith Gallogly is the Manager of Programs at Grow Native Massachusetts. She is a skilled botanist, and much of her plant identification knowledge comes from her explorations of metro-Boston area parks and reservations. She holds a B.A. in Biology from Smith College.

    This workshop ($28 for Grow Native members, $38 for nonmembers) will be conducted entirely in the field. Enrollment at each session is limited to 15. There will be a repeat session of this workshop given on Wednesday June 19 from 5:30pm – 7:45pm. Register here.

  • Thursday, May 23, 5:30 pm – 7:45 pm – Spring Greeting from Woodland Wildflowers

    Please join Grow Native Massachusetts on May 23 at 5:30 at the Middlesex Fells Reservation in Medford for this intensive workshop program, taught by Meredith Gallogly.

    Every spring in New England, we are greeted by a beautiful bouquet of flowers blooming throughout our woodlands. Many of these plants emerge early to soak up the sun before the forest canopy has fully leafed out, and quite a few species have co-evolved with early-emerging insect pollinators, resulting in unique, interdependent life cycles. Spring wildflowers are often delicate in appearance, belying their amazing toughness and adaptability.

    Join Meredith in a diverse and beautiful area of the Fells to get to know some of these flowers, and learn the best ways to incorporate them into a designed landscape.
