Sustainable Saturday Returns on June 18 with Theme of Native Plants
Learn why native plants make gardening easier, save money, and support your local ecosystem.
Join Zero Waste Melrose for the second installment of Sustainable Saturdays on June 18th for information on native planting and invasive species. The event will cover how to create a more sustainable local ecosystem at home that requires less water, less amendments and less time for you.
Local native gardeners will be on hand to answer questions and help you identify and mediate invasive species in your yard. Bring your youngest family members to learn about pollination and the importance of the many creatures they find in their nearby environment.
This event is the second installment in a new event series, Sustainable Saturdays, designed to provide practical guidance to help Melrosians reduce their environmental impact in day-to-day living. From May – September 2022, these monthly events will be held at the YMCA’s corner park, adding yet another reason to visit Melrose’s vibrant Main Street.
