Virtual Event: Gardening Among Hungry Mammals

Seekonk, MA – Join program partner Grow Native Massachusetts for the virtual program Gardening Among Hungry Mammals on Wednesday, May 8 at 7 PM to find out how we can call a truce between our gardening needs and so-called "garden pests." By understanding plant resistance and tolerance strategies as well as animal behaviors and natural histories, we can create resilient gardens that will support a diversity of vertebrate and invertebrate life in our home habitats. Author Nancy Lawson will lead you to discover how a combination of strategies—including mixtures of preferred and unpalatable species, strategic plantings along well-used pathways, and gentle exclusion techniques—can help you trade resistance for peaceful coexistence. Grow Native Massachusetts presents this program as part of the Evenings with Experts free public series. This program will be held in Zoom; register in the online Events Calendar at www.seekonkpl.org/events  to receive the login information to attend.
