Somerville Garden Club

Urban Gardening

Gretel Anspach, member of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society’s Board of Trustees, will give a talk about urban gardening. She will cover alternatives to the standard sources for light, water, and nutrients that plants need for people who don’t have much space, or perhaps no yards at all. Her talk will also touch on container gardening and hydroponics.

All Somerville Garden Club meetings are free and open to the public. Meetings are usually 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.

Somerville’s Open Space and Recreation Plan

Luisa Oliviera, from the Somerville OSPCD/Division of Parks and Open Space, will give a talk about the city’s new open space and recreation plan (OSRP). The OSRP is a 5-year, city-wide action plan that Somerville uses to secure certain state grants, and serves as a public record of the city’s open space data, goals, and strategic vision.
