GLT's Habitat Gardening Club

Genesee Land Trust’s Habitat Gardening Club, Brighton Memorial Library,
December 15, 2005

On Wednesday, December 15th at 7:00 p.m. the Genesee Land Trust held its first meeting of the Habitat Gardening Club, facilitated by Sara Rubin, of Brighton, a nationally certified habitat gardener and volunteer of the Land Trust. The Rubin Garden was featured on last summer’s Backyard Habitat Tour earning raves reviews by tour-goers. The meeting was held at the Brighton Memorial Library at 2300 Elmwood Avenue, at the Town Hall Complex.

This different kind of gardening club plans to focus on sharing knowledge or ideas on things such as: rain gardens, roof gardens and useful native plant species. Rubin has great plans for the club and asks that participants bring a note book, a news article that speaks to habitat issues, i.e. the discovery of the Ivory Billed Woodpecker in the preserved habitat in Arkansas and, of course, participants’ garden goals are key.

The idea of the club is to share information, with opportunities for everyone to ask and answer questions, and discuss their own garden delights and challenges. The club’s next meeting is January 15th . February 28th the club will take a field trip to the Penfield Library to attend Carol Southby’s lecture. For more information please call Margaret Potter at the Land Trust: 256-2130.
