When choosing native plants, you have to ask the right questions to get the best results. Kim Eierman will help you sort out the mysteries and complexities of native plant selection including: Am I buying a genetic clone, and does it matter? What are local ecotypes and where can I buy them? Are native cultivars ok? Are dwarf nativars ecologically-useful? What’s the tradeoff with double flowers? Which native plants require pollination partners (i.e. are dioecious) and how do I source them? What are the pros and cons of planting native seeds vs. live plants? Get the answers you need to make your native landscape both beautiful and eco-beneficial. This is event is cosponsored by the Cambridge Public Library. Kim Eierman is the Founder of EcoBeneficial LLC and author of The Pollinator Victory Garden: Win the War on Pollinator Decline with Ecological Gardening. She is an ecological landscape designer and environmental horticulturist specializing in native plants.

Climate change is making our storms bigger, our summers hotter, our winter weather more unpredictable, and our rainfall patterns swing wildly from flash flooding to flash droughts. Over time, we will need to manage increasing challenges such as higher ocean and groundwater levels and more wind, fire, and drought. Extreme weather is not new. We already know how to deal with blizzards without major loss of life or property damage. Climate change means that we need to learn how similarly manage these new challenges while minimizing harm to people and our surroundings.

When it comes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and combating climate change, every little bit helps – including the steps you can take to be sustainable at home. Learn how to do your part by recycling, composting, and urban farming, as well as conserving energy and taking steps to prepare for flooding.
