September Green Drinks

It's Time for Green Drinks in September

Wednesday, September 16th - 6:00pm, Italian Kitchen
This month’s Green Drinks features Marilyn Fish, cofounder of the conservation group Monarchs, Milkweed and More. Marilyn will talk about her work in the community encouraging local businesses and organizations to convert hardscapes, turf and other low-quality areas into native areas that support wildlife in a sustainable way. She will share the incentives and benefits of native gardening along with advice on getting started with native plantings. Whether you are a small business or landowner or just a member of a household, whether you are experienced with gardening or a complete beginner, Marilyn will share how she and MMM are able to support native planting projects in the community.
