Guest Speaker: Elizabeth Farnsworth, Senior Research Ecologist with the New England Wildflower Society.

The Wayland Garden Club invites the public to be guests at our meeting on Tuesday, January 26 at the Trinitarian Congregational Church, 53 Cochituate Road, Wayland. The meeting will begin with refreshments at 9:30am and a brief business meeting at 10am followed by our guest speaker Elizabeth Farnsworth, a biologist, educator and scientific illustrator. In her role as a senior research ecologist at the New England Wildflower Society, Farnsworth wrote a comprehensive peer-reviewed report that, for the first time, gathers together the most up-to-date data on the status of plants in the New England landscape. She will discuss the report’s findings and will focus on what we can do to help protect the viability of the thousands of species that together comprise our diverse and vibrant flora.

Founded in 1922, the Wayland Garden Club was one of the earliest established in Massachusetts. The club has a long-standing interest in preserving the environment, civic beautification, community outreach, horticulture and flower arranging. Speakers and workshops on a wide range of these subjects are featured at our monthly meetings.

Wayland Garden club welcomes new members. If you would like more information about the Wayland Garden Club, please contact Patrice Barton, WGC President at patriceburnsbarton@gmail.com
