Earth 2024 - A Cry to Save Our Planet

We are excited to be hosting an exciting environmental presentation by Ken Wolslegel, Environmental Scientist. Ken shares ways to make a meaningful difference towards a sustainable future. Set to music, it is uniquely delivered in a way that feels like watching a live documentary. With a powerful and moving message, you’ll feel inspired to live a greener life and to support a healthy planet for all life on Earth!
The Art of the Cottage Garden
Tuesday, 5/21  6 pm 
We are excited to welcome Andrew Pighills, an accomplished stone artisan, gardener and horticulturist transplanted from Yorkshire, England. Horticulture may be a science, but creating gardens that speak to one's soul is an art form. This richly illustrated and inspiring talk explores the qualities and characteristics that define cottage gardens and offers practical advice on how to achieve this in one's own landscape.
