SUMMARY:From Wasteland to Wonder – Easy Ways We Can Care for Trees and Help Heal Earth in the Sub/Urban Landscape with Basil Camu
DESCRIPTION:The way we currently manage the suburban and urban landscape is creating a wasteland and harming the well-being of Earth. Fortunately\, we have an alternative path: we can work with natural systems instead of working against them. Basil will describe actions we can take\, from planting saplings and saving mature trees to planting pocket forests\, replacing our lawns with native meadows\, and empowering communities to take action together. \nBasil Camu pursues his purpose and passions as the co-founder of Leaf & Limb\, a tree care company in Raleigh\, NC. His work has been featured in the New York Times\, Seattle Times\, Forbes\, Gardenista\, The Joe Gardener Show\, and a number of other publications and podcasts.

SUMMARY:Book Chat on Poor Richard's Women
DESCRIPTION: Behind any founding father are numerous founding mothers\, sisters\, and lovers. Benjamin Franklin had a large cast of women in his life\, most importantly his wife of 44 years\, Deborah Read Franklin. While frequently absent from the historical narrative due to their frequent time apart\, Deborah was an important witness to and active participant in the political workings of the early Revolution\, running the family businesses and raising a family in tumultuous times with her husband often away. Then\, as Franklin traveled the globe\, his social circle also expanded to include landladies and liaisons in London and Paris. Join us to discuss Nancy Rubin Stuart’s exploration of history’s forgotten heroines.\n\n$10 members\, $15 nonmembers\n\nPlease note that due to construction at the Depot\, Book Chats for the 2024-25 season will take place in the archives and Research Center at Munroe Tavern.

SUMMARY:Lexington Field & Garden Club presents “Preparing the Soil for Gardening” with Gretel Anspach
DESCRIPTION:Lexington Field & Garden Club presents \n“Preparing the Soil for Gardening” with Gretel Anspach \nGretel Anspach is a Trustee of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society\, a Lifetime Master Gardner\, and a recently retired systems engineer for Raytheon. She established and maintained a 20\,000-square-foot food production garden that provides produce to the Marlboro and Maynard Food Pantries. Her primary interest and focus is the science behind horticulture. \nGretel will discuss how the soil’s quality and makeup greatly influence how well plants will do. Unlike sunlight\, air\, and water (the other three requirements)\, soil quality cannot be determined by simply looking or even by looking at the plants. She will cover structure\, compaction fertility\, and pH\, and talk about how these qualities can be modified to create a more successful garden. \nThis event is Free!  \n6:30 PM Refreshments\, 7 PM meeting \nStreet parking is available along Mass Ave and Follen Rd. Carpooling might be advisable. \nhttp://lexgarden.org

The film depicts these families in their everyday experiences at home\, in their communities\, and in their schools. Each family has their own vision for social justice based on their unique identities\, histories\, experiences\, and context. They help their children develop positive social identities\, express comfort and joy with human differences\, and form deep\, caring connections.”

SUMMARY:Alarmed in Lexington
DESCRIPTION:Step back in time to experience the anxious hours before the start of the American Revolution. It’s past midnight on April 19th\, 1775\, and Paul Revere has just left the home of Lexington’s minister\, Jonas Clarke\, with news of an impending British attack. This leaves the home’s occupants to take in the news and prepare for what is to come. In a series of three short plays by playwright Debbie Wiess\, see how John Hancock and Samuel Adams\, leaders of the Revolution\, Dorothy Quincy and Lydia Hancock\, John’s family\, and Jonas and Lucy Clarke\, town leaders\, process the impending crisis as they prepare for war in the very rooms in which these conversations took place two hundred and fifty years ago.\n\nThis program is funded in part by Kirkland and Shaw Plumbing and Heating\, and by a grant from the Lexington Council for the Arts\, a local agency that is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council\, a state agency.\n\n$20 members\, $25 nonmembers
