Somerville Garden Club

Meadows

We will be showing excerpts from “Urban & Suburban Meadows: Bringing Meadowscaping to Big and Small Spaces,” a video made by Catherine Zimmerman and produced by The Meadow Project. The video focuses on the diversity of life inhabiting a meadow and the intricate connection between native plants, native insects and soil. The video details the process of making a meadow from site preparation, design, and planting, to annual maintenance. Entomologist Doug Tallemy, and meadow experts Michael Nadeau, Larry Weaner, and Neil Diboll are featured. Following the video club members who have made meadows of their own will share their knowledge and experiences.

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.

‘Winter Decorating with Fresh Evergreens and Dried Flowers’ is the topic that Somerville Garden Club members Carol Dempkowski, Judy Eisenberg, and Melissa Fox will present. They will demonstrate how to make holly wreaths, fresh evergreen swags, and decorative arrangements using dried flowers, branches and seed pods.
