Cape-Friendly Landscapes ~ Design and maintenance, mindful of nature

The Brewster Ponds Coalition invites you to join us on April 25th, to hear Kristin Andres, Associate Director for Education for the Association to Preserve Cape Cod, discuss our landscapes and gardens, and how they play an important role in the health of the Cape’s environment. Our choices in what we plant, how we design, and the land care practices we employ all make a difference. Learn about ways you can support pollinators and birds, protect water quality, and create beautiful spaces for your personal enjoyment. There will be time for questions and answers after Kristin’s presentation.

This event will be held at the Brewster Ladies’ Library, 1822 Main Street Brewster, MA, Tuesday, April 25, 2023, from 3 - 4:30 PM. 

Pre-registration is appreciated, as seating is limited, and walk-ins are welcome. Admission is free.
