If you're at Heritage today, don't forget to stop in for the Native Plant Garden Design and Plant Selection program taking place from 12-1 pm.

Join Peter Scavongelli of FoxRock Farms as he explores the critical role of native plant habitats and pollination systems. The program covers how to design gardens that foster biodiversity by creating “ecological matches” between plants and specialist pollinators, such as at-risk Massachusetts bumblebees. Participants will learn practical design and maintenance strategies, including soil “ribbon tests” and sun tracking, to support the entire food web—from honeybees to native pollinators.

There will be plenty of time for questions and discussion and you’ll receive a PDF of the slideshow after the program.

This program is FREE with admission or membership!
