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

Lexington is home to over 70 species of edible wild plants\, both native and non-native\, including plants considered to be weedy or invasive. Some are more nutritious and/or flavorful than their cultivated counterparts. Join Russ Cohen\, expert forager and author of Wild Plants I Have Known…and Eaten\, on a two-hour ramble in and around Lincoln Park to learn about at least eighteen edible species. Russ will present information on identification tips\, edible portion(s)\, season(s) of availability and preparation methods\, as well as general guidelines for safe and environmentally-responsible foraging.\nMeet at the Fitness Trail entrance at the crosswalk on Worthen Road across from the Lexington High playing fields. Steady rain cancels.\nLeader: Russ Cohen – 781-646-7489\, eatwild@rcn.com
