Embracing the Seasons in the Native Garden

Wednesday, Oct 15th

6:30 - 8:00

Irondequoit Public Library, rm 213

Every season in Western New York has ecological value and purpose. How can we learn from this succession and change in nature and apply it to our yards? This talk by Sarah Sutton, Ontario County master gardener and owner of Spicebush Swallowtail Native Plants and Eco Design, will describe different local ecosystems and how they change through the seasons; as well as how we might embrace and guide these changes in our own gardens for maximum ecological value and beauty.

The talk will be followed by discussion and questions. This is a CIG event. More info and accessibility requests here.

Regenerative Futures Lab

One 90-minute meeting per month on the 2nd Thursday of the month, rotating between 5:30 – 7 pm and 12 – 1:30 PM

Hybrid sessions: in person and online

The Regenerative Futures Lab, a project of the Genesee-Finger Lakes Climate Collective, is a shared space for rethinking the mental models that keep climate and social issues in place. Explore how participation in the extractive economy contributes to harm, and discover concrete ways to opt out and reinvest in a regenerative future.

Everyone is welcome, no matter what shade of green you are. Creating a healthier, more equitable, and regenerative future requires all hands on deck, with contributions from every sector and demographic group. For those who will be participating in person, an optional potluck will be part of the gathering—feel free to bring a dish to share!
