On May 21st, the Topsfield Town Library was proud to host local business owner/presenter Cheryl Rafuse for a presentation on Ecological Gardening Basics! This presentation was aimed towards those gardeners who want to start incorporating native plants in your garden to support our local ecosystems and get rid of potential invasive plants on your property. This lecture brought us through you through the ins and outs of installing a pollinator-friendly garden or meadow and some best practices for the most eco-friendly garden possible. Cheryl was kind enough to share with us the slides from the presentation; view them here!
