Our children and grandchildren will learn about pollinators: those amazing birds, butterflies, and bees who are so important to our gardens and our food supply. Following the story, children will create a companion craft designed by Kim.

Participants will also get to know the flowers our pollinators love and experience the new native plant garden at the library, contributed and planted by OCT. OCT will also have a Trustee at every story hour to answer questions from both caregivers and children.

Resilient Roots http://www.resroots.org and the Northeast Organic Farming Association (NOFA https://nofa.org/ ) are teaming up to offer a special workshop on soil health and eco-friendly landscaping practices. The session is aimed at both professional landscapers and home gardeners, and offers 1 continuing education credit for the Massachusetts Certified Landscape Professional (MCLP) program.

Resilient Roots Executive Director Kristie Kapp and NOFA/Mass Soil Technical Coordinator and Education Director Rubén Parrilla will cover the basics of soil microbiology, the importance of soil testing, and organic techniques to build and maintain healthy soil. These sustainable and resilient landscaping methods can decrease weed pressure, increase plant nutrient availability, and sink and store water. The result? Landscapes that, in addition to being beautiful and productive, provide essential pollinator habitat, decrease erosion, and help mitigate climate change by storing carbon in the ground. Human activity has been destroying the soil that helps balance our ecosystem. Come learn how to be part of the solution!

Register at the NOFA website https://secure.givelively.org/event/northeast-organic-farming-association-massachusetts-chapter/2025-education-events/ecological-landscaping-soil-health . Sliding-scale cost of $30, $50, or $70.
