5:00 pm - 6:30 pm

#CurtisMemorialLibrary
23 Pleasant St
Brunswick, #Maine 04011

Free

"This event was originally scheduled for April 16. The date has been updated to May 20.

Join #MOFGA’s Crop Specialist, Caleb Goossen, for a discussion on #organic management of common pests in the #VegetableGarden. Caleb will start by sharing strategies used to minimize the presence of pests from the outset using cultural practices such as promoting the presence of '#beneficials'. But sometimes pests show up anyway, despite our best efforts or during particularly challenging growing seasons. So, Caleb will also discuss what can be done when pests emerge."

#WestbrookME - Protest Patches with Claire + Carly

May 31, 2026, 10:30 AM – 12:30 PM

#PastAndFutureCraft
506 Main St #18
Westbrook, ME 04092, USA

"Let's channel the rebellious 60's and 70's by making a protest patch using groovy fabric scraps. Learn two different machine applique techniques. We'll use reverse applique to create a layer fabric image. Text will be added using double sided interfacing and friction pens. The patch makes a perfect pocket or patch for a mended pair of jeans. We'll have interfacing, pens and a heaping basket of fabric scraps but feel free to contribute your own scraps. This is a great scrap busting project and the more scraps the merrier.

Prerequisites: Some machine sewing experience is helpful, such as Sewing Machine Basics with Jo.

Class date: Sunday, May 31st, 10:30am - 12:30pm

Location: 506 Main Street Unit 18 Westbrook Maine. Free parking available on-site. Accessible entrance and restrooms.

Cost: $45 per person. Scholarships are available; apply here.

Supplies Needed: All supplies will be provided. Some designs will be available to use, but you are welcome to bring your own designs…"
