Why Native Plant Landscapes Matter

Claudia Thompson, founder of the horticultural organization Grow Native Massachusetts, believes native plant landscapes are essential to our future, helping to support human health, organic food production, and biodiversity as a whole. Thompson, who has served as Director of Education for the Appalachian Mountain Club and as Director of Mass. Audubon's Drumlin Farm, is the featured speaker at the December meeting of the Somerville Garden Club. Come consider the co-evolution of plants and animals, the importance of our own gardens, and discuss better ways to steward this planet.
The Somerville Garden Club meets monthly; meetings are free and the public is encouraged to attend.  Each meeting includes club announcements, a gardening question and answer session, a lecture or demonstration, and a raffle of donated plants and garden-related items. Parking is available on site, and the building is a short walk from the Davis Square Redline T station. Meetings are on the second floor, wheelchair accessible.
