SUMMARY:The Native Flora of Lexington's Old Burying Ground
DESCRIPTION:With its uneven ground and listing slate headstones\, the Old Burying Ground in Lexington looks like a patch of colonial-era New England frozen in time. The preservation of this site has not only kept alive memories of the dead but also elements of the natural plant community that was likely present when the graves were dug. Maintained as lawn\, the landscape here is replete with native plant species typical of dry woodlands and ridge tops in eastern Massachusetts—species no longer seen in the residential yards and parking lots past the cemetery gates. Join Meredith to discuss why the plant community in the burying ground is so distinct\, why historical cemeteries are often sanctums for biodiversity\, and what this old landscape can teach us about cultivating more ecologically vibrant lawns today. \nPre-Registration Required \nWorkshop Fee: Member $38/ Non-member $48/ Workshop Sponsor $100 \nInstructor-Meredith Gallogly is the Manager of Operations at Grow Native Massachusetts. She is a skilled botanist\, and much of her plant identification knowledge comes from her explorations of metro-Boston area parks and reservations. She holds a B.A. in Biology from Smith College. \nRegister

SUMMARY:Lexington Living Landscapes’ Open Gardens Day
DESCRIPTION:Come\, Meet\, and Learn from Other Lexington Gardeners. \n  \nMore and more homeowners are embracing landscaping that emphasizes native plants and organic methods to create more wildlife- and people-friendly yards. Are you curious to see what other gardeners have done? Stop by any of multiple locations to see the many forms a pollinator garden can take or learn what alternatives to the traditional lawn fellow residents have tried. \nThe homeowners involved are generously opening their yards to visitors in the hopes that you’ll see something that will help or inspire you in your own landscaping\, and to learn from you as well. Many are works in progress. The gardens vary in how long they’ve been established\, how much time the homeowner has invested in them\, what the homeowner is trying to accomplish\, and whether the garden has been professionally designed and installed or is a do-it-yourself project. \nEach of the participating gardens will be open to visitors during one of two time windows during the day. Visit as many or as few as you wish. No ticket or pre-registration is needed. \nA detailed schedule and map of participating properties will be available by Labor Day at www.lexingtonlivinglandscapes.org.
