"Over Sixty species of plants native to the Northeastern United States and locally grown by Glover Perennials—many of which are drought tolerant and deer resistant—will be showcased outdoors at the Roy Latham Nature Center at Inlet Pond County Park. A list of plants available will be posted here a week before the sale.
Based at the Roy Latham Nature Center, the organization models environmentally responsible landscaping practices, including the replacement of #InvasiveSpecies with native plants, #WaterWise #gardening, and #HabitatCreation.
Proceeds from NFAS’s spring and fall plant sales directly fund ongoing #restoration projects, including initiatives to plant native plants and trees throughout Inlet Pond County Park."

With periodic fires and other natural processes interrupted, many natural areas have been invaded by aggressive weeds. These plants can take over entire preserves. #Nativeplant communities comprised of hundreds of species are replaced by a few weed species. Removing these invaders is an important step in restoring native biodiversity.
Many native species have been so suppressed by invading weeds that they have difficulty recovering
#MaineAudubon Webinar - #Serviceberry
Wednesday May 6, 5:30-7 pm
Led by Andrew Tufts
Free program, donations encouraged. Registration required.
"Serviceberry marks a key seasonal transition in Maine, blooming as migratory #birds and #pollinators arrive. This webinar examines serviceberry’s role in forest edges, open woodlands, and rocky landscapes, and how these ecologically rich habitats support #biodiversity. Participants will also learn how edge communities translate into parks, trails, and residential landscapes.
Natural Communities & Seasonal Change is a three-part spring learning series that combines monthly webinars with guided field experiences to explore #Maine’s #NativePlant communities through the lens of seasonal #phenology. The series focuses on how #NativeTrees and shrubs signal ecological change, support #wildlife, and shape both natural and human landscapes. Participants will build skills in observation, #PlantIdentification, and reading the landscape as spring unfolds."

Would any wood workers / turners in Naarm/Melbourne be interested in free garden-grown Hakea laurina (Pincushion hakea)? The tree died unexpectedly - it's been here well over 30 years.
Send a PM for address (eastern suburbs) and be prepared to divide or for heavy lifting.
