A Season of Learning at Arthur’s Point Farm
Join Arthur’s Point Farm for a series of conversations exploring the role native plants play in the health and restoration of local ecology.
Each Saturday, we’ll welcome growers, conservationists, ecologists, and other local experts to the nursery to share their knowledge on topics ranging from birds and pollinators to invasive species, seeds, soil, and the plants that connect them all.
Come for a talk, explore the nursery, meet others interested in caring for our local landscapes, and discover something new.
