October 26, 2009, 6:30 – 8:30pm Hunnewell Building Lecture Hall

Lecture by Scott LaFleur, Horticulture Director and Botanic Garden Director for New EnglandWild Flower Society

Sponsored by the Emerald Necklace Conservancy

Join us for an informative evening learning all about wildflower meadows! We will delve into the exciting world of meadow ecology and the role of meadows in attracting and supporting birds, bees, butterflies and other pollinators. Then learn how to bring this colorful, low-maintenance, sustainable lawn-alternative into your own garden. We will also discuss the unique wildflower meadow in Olmsted Park and the Conservancy’s ongoing efforts to prevent the meadow from reverting to woodland and maintain it as a valuable resource with the help of volunteers.
