What plants were originally here on City Island? What plants here are invasive versus native? What is the relationship between animals and insects and those native plants? These questions and more were answered during the September 24, 2026 talk by Hailey Clancy about "City Island's Native Plants." The presentation, introduced by Michael Clancy, Museum President and Hailey's husband, was followed by a lively question and answer session as listeners assessed their own gardens.

The Museum continues its series of weeknight talks in October and November. More to come.

In the meantime, the Museum will be open this weekend, Saturday and Sunday, from 1 to 4 PM each day.
