First of all, Happy New Year to everyone and a great 2026 to all ! For our first general meeting of the year, we are again featuring Tristan Shaw, the owner of Possibility Place, which is the nursery that provides native plants and trees for our Preserve and many others. We are presenting this program again since it was so popular and well attended last year. On Thursday, February 26 at 7 PM. Tristan and other members of our board will conduct a short presentation about the business of Possibility Place and a general discussion of native gardens and native plants. Tristan will introduce some new native plant species available this year. Plenty of time will be available for Q and A. As we all know, native gardens are becoming increasingly popular throughout the country if not the world. This is a wonderful opportunity to take advantage of this high level of expertise all gathered at once for you to plan your native garden. You are invited to bring pictures of your planting areas with an assessment of how much sunlight they get so we can help you choose the appropriate native plants. Free Milkweed seed packets will be available for all attendees.
