Chapters in Connecticut

All members are welcome at chapter Board business meetings. Email chapter in advance to receive Zoom link if you wish to attend.

Our event will begin with an hour of social networking in the lobby of 33 Gallows Lane.  The featured presentation by Advanced Master Gardener Steve Colgan will begin at 11 AM.  This program is free and registration is not required.

Moss gardening has been popular in Asia for millenia, but if you Google “moss” you will mostly find recommendations on the best ways to kill it!  Steve believes that moss can be an element of almost any garden or landscape and will talk about practical aspects of moss gardening with how-to’s and don’t-do’s.  He will also give some consideration to lichen, ferns and other lower vascular plants that feel comfortable in moss-friendly environments. 

Dee Salomon (The Ungardener) will take us on  a guided tour of her woodland spring ephemeral garden.  Wear good walking shoes as there will be some uneven and sloping terrain, particularly if we step off the paths to get a closer view of certain plants.   Please  RSVP to Dee directly at dee@theungardener.com as group size will be limited. Carpooling is encouraged.

Highstead comprises more than 100 acres of largely unmanaged woodland and wetland habitat as well as managed fields and meadows. This diverse landscape is connected by a 1.5-mile trail that reveals the natural and human forces that shape it.

We will go on a guided walk and tour, learning about the diverse habitats and site appropriate native plants.  They have a Mt. Laurel area that may be in bloom then.
