Meeting – December 8, 7:30-9pm

NOTE: There is a change in the location and time of tonight’s meeting. We will be holding the SGC meeting in the conference room at 167 Holland Street. This room is at the end of the second floor hallway (used to be the cafeteria). We have access to begin set up at 7:30 pm. The program committee will be serving cider and sparkling water (in the area at the top of the stairway) to any members who come early.

Holiday Decorating With Live Greens

Learn to make wreaths, swags, and centerpieces as SGC members share their techniques for creating evergreen decor for the holidays. As always, the monthly meeting will begin with announcements, then a roundtable discussion of plant problems, followed by the demonstration featuring live greens. A raffle of donated plants and garden items will round off the evening.

All Somerville Garden Club meetings are free and open to the public. Meetings are held the second Wednesday of each month at the Tufts Administration Building, (TAB), 167 Holland Street, second floor, wheelchair accessible. Parking is available, and the building is a ten-minute walk from the Davis Square MBTA stop.

Drought, climate change, and even war are all directly related to the way we are treating dirt.

DIRT! The Movie – narrated by Jaime Lee Curtis – brings to life the environmental, economic, social and political impact that the soil has. It shares the stories of experts from all over the world who study and are able to harness the beauty and power of a respectful and mutually beneficial relationship with soil.

“The best remedy for disconnecting people from the natural world is connecting them to it again.”
