SUMMARY:Commercial Horticulture Webinar Series: Transitioning to Native Plants in the Landscape or Garden
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a webinar on integrating native plants into managed landscapes. This session will explore how native species can be used to meet both ecological and design objectives while reducing long-term maintenance and resource inputs. Whether addressing plant failure\, overgrowth\, or planning site enhancements\, this webinar will provide practical strategies for selecting and siting native plants that support biodiversity and perform reliably in the landscape. Topics will include an overview of Maine’s native plant communities\, best practices for plant selection and site assessment\, and design approaches for achieving a clean\, professional aesthetic. \nRegister Online: Transitioning to Native Plants in the Landscape or Garden \nRegistration is required; sliding scale fee options are available. For more information or to request a reasonable accommodation\, contact Rebecca Gray at 207.356.1348 or extension.gardening@maine.edu. \nAbout the Speaker\nCathy Rees has worked for more than 25 years creating and maintaining gardens while doing ecological consulting for a range of clients. Her familiarity with the native flora inspires her creative use of natives in the garden. The need to educate others about their native flora\, its beauty\, mystery\, and benefit to the ecosystem led her to cofound Native Gardens of Blue Hill in 2015. She holds a BS in environmental design and planning and an MS in ecology. She is a certified National Green Infrastructure Practitioner. She is the author of “Winterland: Creating a beautiful garden for every season\,” which focuses on garden design that can be enjoyed beyond the growing season. \n

SUMMARY:Cosmogenesis: The Story of Us
DESCRIPTION:Lotus\, a 19-year-old dance student on a quest for meaning\, struggles as she witnesses the world around her falling apart.  On the brink of giving up on college\, she meets a mentor who introduces her to the 13.8 billion year scientific story of the Cosmos. Lotus discovers a unique capacity to see back in time prompting her to contemplate her place in the Universe. While Lotus’ philosophy poet peer-group cracks the code on every current issue concerning humanity\, Lotus feels the call of a reoccurring dream she has of a dark-haired woman galloping on horseback under the Milky Way. \nCreated as a collaboration between University of Colorado Boulder’s Fiske Planetarium and Colorado University’s Theater & Dance Department\, together with a local playwright Rebecca Sophia Strong\, and local musicians it is a cultural program that integrates traditional stage theater with digital planetarium imagery. \nThis artist driven project inextricably links the arts\, science and technology and is a response to the growing sense of globalized anxiety in young adults due to racism\, climate change and a lack of a sense of belonging – we aim to inspire hope and agency\nin young people. \nPerformed in at the Versant Power Astronomy Center’s Jordan Planetarium by True North Theatre on November 7\, 8\, 14 & 15. \nSpecial School show booking available on November 12 – contact the planetarium for details. \nTickets are $20 each.
