Native Plant Celebration

The Loring-Greenough House will celebrate the completion of our Native Plant Border at an unveiling in May. Join us to tour the garden, support the project by 'sponsoring' a plant, and learn about the benefits of Native Plants! The bed along the south-facing border contains a robust variety of plants that are native to the eastern half of the US, bringing color, visual interest, and seasonal changes to an existing plant bed. Mostly shade-loving, this mix of perennials and shrubs, along with evergreen trees for screening, will help the public identify and become more familiar with native plants that play an important ecological role in our community. Native plants are beneficial because they are low-maintenance, require less water, and provide habitat for birds and beneficial insects. Bleeding Heart, Jacob's Ladder, and Goldenrod are just a few of the many perennials that will greet all creatures, great and small, throughout the seasons. Recently added to the border are a few trees - the beautiful Fringe tree and three Arborvitaes. Among the shrubs are Aronia, Clethra and Sweetspire. Join us on May 10th from 1:00 to 3:00 for our garden opening which includes a presentation by Shoma Haque in the parlor followed by refreshments and a tour of the native border. Attend this celebration by buying a ticket for $10 or by sponsoring a plant! $25* Sponsors a Perennial | $50* Sponsors a Shrub | $100* Sponsors a Tree *plus donation processing fee (Both options are accessible under the "select tickets" button on Eventbrite.)
