The West Newbury Garden Club invites you to join our March meeting
Gardening in a Climate Change
Thursday, March 2, 6:45 p.m.
1910 Building Annex, 381 Main Street, West Newbury, MA
Our March meeting will feature Michele Fronk Schuckel who will share her knowledge and
expertise about gardening in a warming world. Michelle is the founder and principal designer
of Natural Selections Gardens where she works with clients to advocate and protect our
ecosystem and incorporate native plants into their gardens.
Sustainable gardening and landscaping techniques can slow warming by reducing carbon
emissions and home gardeners can be an important part of the solution. Michele will discuss
rain gardens, veranal pools, accelerating the carbon cycle, and shifting planting zones, all
efforts to halt climate change. Visit this website to learn more about Michelle and her
services - Michele@NaturalSelectionsGardens.com. Join us for an informative evening!
All are welcome. $5 guest fee.
If you are unable to join and would like to watch on Zoom, please contact Heather Conner at hconner1@gmail.com by March 1 with your name and email. Heather will send interested individuals the zoom link before the meeting.
