On January 15, join us for a workshop at the Wayland Town Building (41 Cochituate Rd.) in the Large Meeting Room.Sessions will be offered at 10 a.m., noon, 2 p.m., and 4 p.m. These sessions will be sponsored by the Wayland Council on Aging, The Wayland Garden Club, MetroWest Climate Solutions, and Energize Wayland, respectively.
The seeds selected are “Pollinator Powerhouses.” These plants are powerful tools to help fight pollution, floods, record-breaking heat waves, sea-level rise, and mass extinction of species.
This is an in-person event but, as a courtesy for those unable to attend, a supply kit will be available during the day for pick up.
When you register, please request supplies if you will not be attending in person.
Local native plant gardeners Shelley Trucksis and Jean Milburn will make a presentation about local native plants and their role in preserving our ecosystem.
Sowing native seeds in winter is an economical way for homeowners to add native plants to their yards so that their gardens work to support pollinators in synergy with surrounding properties.
Provided: New this year – a peat-free potting mix, PittMoss, a sustainable alternative to peat-containing potting mixes.
You will receive PittMoss enough for 5 milk jugs and 5 packets of local native perennial seeds.
Bring: 5 one-gallon translucent milk or water jugs, gloves, sturdy scissors, a small hand trowel, and a box to carry your mini-greenhouses home.
To Register: For the 10 a.m. Council on Aging session, contact the COA at [email protected] or 508-358-2990.
For all other sessions, email Shelley Trucksis at [email protected].
Maximum: 24 hands-on participants at each session.
