We’re not the only ones trying to adjust to the ongoing changes in our climate. Plants have also been attempting to adapt to the more volatile and increasingly warmer environment. For some, the transition is harder – and may prove unlikely. As we look to fill vacancies in our gardens and landscapes, do we stay within the known weather parameters for our area, or do we start looking at plants from areas that more closely match the direction our weather seems to be taking? An emphasis will be given to what soil types we have and which plants will grow best in these regardless of the weather.

To have a conversation about sustainable, regenerative agricultural practices, a common understanding of the plant soil ecosystem is required. In this seminar we will review the complexities of minerals, biology and organic matter in the soil and introduce the role voltage and acidity play in establishing life sustaining conditions that prevent pathogen and insect damage to plants. Come join us for a seminar and generous Q&A time where all topics gardening are on the table. Bring an open mind, curiosity, your questions, a mug and your favorite tea. We will share sustainable, regenerative ideas and concepts (as well as a cup of tea) with each other. Hot water will be provided.

Rhododendrons are a traditional and welcome splash of spring color, and a common foundation plant in our area. This very large genus can fill so many other roles in the landscape, however! In this class we’ll explore the many ways rhododendrons can grace our gardens, exploring both the better-known and the less-familiar species and cultivars. Desired cultural conditions will also be discussed, along with proper care and feeding.

This program will include an overview of insect population declines and resulting biodiversity losses and the factors linked to these declines, especially the role pesticide use plays. We will look at some of the most commonly used lawn and garden pesticides and their effects on soil health, water quality, insect life, wildlife, and human health. There will be a special focus on neonicotinoid pesticides and their effects on pollinator and bird populations. We will consider data showing which pesticides are showing up in Connecticut rivers and how changing the way we manage our yards as well as town and state property can help better protect water quality, biodiversity, and human health.
