Propagating Local, Native Pollinator Plants across Concord

 

Event Details:

Wednesday, September 28, 2022
1:00 – 2:15pm
Concord Free Public Library

Free. Welcome to all. Register here. 

This program will be given by the Concord Library, Concord Land Conservation Trust, and Town Natural Resources Division. Hear about what each organization is doing to support native pollination systems. Learn about a new, cooperative effort to collect native, local seed that benefits our wild pollinators. Saved seed will be given to the Seed Lending Library and sowed seed will get planted at designated conservation properties and the new display garden at the Fowler Branch. Find out how you can get involved and sign up for a field trip where participants will learn how to collect and clean seeds, package seeds for the Seed Lending Library, and sow seeds using milk jugs.
