Event: William Cullina: Native Plants in Context


 

 


On March 17, at 2 pm BTLT presents William Cullina, Director of  Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, at St. Paul's Church, 27 Pleasant St, Brunswick, speaking about:

 

"Native Plants in Context: Ecology, Diversity, and Interconnection"

He will describe the importance of relationships in the natural world and answer the age-old question, "Why is gardening such hard work?" He will also describe a more sustainable - and back friendly - way to garden and live.

  Admission is $10, with proceeds going to the

Tom Settlemire Community Garden.

Seating is limited.

Tickets are now available only at the door to at the time of the event. Pease keep in mind that seating is limited - so come early if you need a ticket.


 

 

 

No plant is an island: each exists in a context and community of trees and toads, birds bugs and rocks. Like human communities, this network of individual needs is supported by complex communication and mutualisms that we hardly understand. This lecture uses the analogy of human communities to explain the importance of relationships in the natural world and answers the age old question “why is gardening such hard work?” Cullina also describes a more sustainable (not to mention back-friendly) way to garden and live on this small planet.
