Upcoming & In the Works

The club is booking a field trip to attend the The Wachusett Regional High School Theater/Dram Club's Fall production: "Community Garden" written by Justin Borak. The club will bulk purchase tickets based on member sign up.

Play Synopsis: In any big city, newbie Ralph doesn’t quite know what to expect during his first volunteer shift at Uptown City Gardens. It’s certainly not the vibrant, bustling community that passes through the green space, checking on their plants, composting their food scraps, meeting up with friends, and—surprisingly — often falling in love. After a few hours, Ralph begins to understand seasoned volunteer Donald’s claim that the garden is magic. In a series of heartfelt and humorous vignettes, Community Garden digs into the ways taking care of the environment helps people take care of each other.

Not all insects are bad for the garden.  In fact, we rely on many to rid us of other unwanted invaders.  This presentation describes some of the common beneficial and pest insects that gardeners encounter in New England.  We will take a look at their habits and their life cycles as we discuss how their presence affects the success of our garden year. 

Bonnie Power has been a Massachusetts Master Gardener since 2016 (now a Lifetime MG) and member of the MMGA Speakers Bureau since 2018…and a serious outdoor/indoor gardener most of her life. Curious and research-oriented by nature, she has many horticultural interests and areas of expertise. Bonnie holds both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in Zoology, which informs her perspective on the management of garden insects. She is a member of the MGA Soil pH Testing team and for 15 years was a volunteer guide at Garden in the Woods, a Native Plant Trust botanical garden in Framingham. She learned to grow vegetables as a child from her father, and flowers and houseplants from her mother. Early in her marriage her father-in-law provided her first lessons in organic gardening.  At home in Marlborough, Bonnie grows a variety of vegetables and ornamentals (with a bias for natives).
