The Open Space Preservation Commission is sponsoring a new garden club. Their focus is on gardens featuring plants that support native pollinators. They invite the public to join them at their introductory meeting next week.
(Note: If you’re interested in this club, you may also be interested in OSPC’s Garden Tour and Native Plant Sale taking place this weekend (rain or shine. Click here for those details.)
As for their new club, OSPC promotes:
You are invited to the introductory meeting of the Native Pollination Preservation Garden Club, sponsored by the Open Space Preservation Commission at the Southborough Library. Are you curious about what makes this library garden different from other pollinator gardens? Would you like to learn how you can have beautiful flowers in your own yard while helping our ecosystem?
The club will explore how beautiful native landscapes can restore ecological value to our landscapes and help prevent species extinction.
Celebrate biodiversity through pollination!
The meeting is scheduled for Thursday, September 28th, 6:30 to 7:30 pm at the Library. The group will gather at the garden (adjacent to the Library’s parking lot) for the first 15 minutes, then head inside for more discussion.
