GREEN TIPS
Aerial mosquito spraying remains a serious concern. Contact Sue Phelan to help with convincing a few other organizations to come out in public opposition. It’s past the point for further spraying this year but maybe we can impact next year’s spraying. suphelan@gis.net

CALENDAR
October 19th at 7PM at the Whelden Library: Williamsburg Gardens
Members Steve and Sue will show photos of colonial Williamsburg featuring a variety of gardens from the Governor’s Palace (so-called “gardens of gentility”) to the gardens of the slaves (“gardens of necessity”) and briefly discuss how each reflected 18th century lifestyles and ideals-including pest control.
November 16th at Whelden Library: From the Ground Up
Sophie Corrigan and friends of From the Ground Up will make an informal presentation and answer questions about their pioneering project on Harwich conservation land: planting an edible food forest using native species that will evolve into a naturalized ecosystem and serve as an educational resource on food forestry.
