Autobiography of a WardrobeAuthor Elizabeth Kendall:
Autobiography of a Wardrobe

Thursday, May 15, 11-12:30 pm
Elizabeth Kendall tells a "wholly original story of a woman's life from her wardrobe's point of view, in the wardrobe's own exquisitely controlled savvy, always vibrant voice--a feat of imagination as emotionally subtle and stirring as it is dazzlingly particular." Part memoir, part fashion and cultural history of the last five decades, Autobiography of a Wardrobe gives us a one-of-a-kind self-portrait of great charm that could belong to any woman who reads it. Q&A following talk. Reservations recommended. Books available for purchase and signing.

TreeDavid Sanders:
The Benefits of Using Native Plants
in Suburban Gardens and Landscapes

Tuesday, May 20, 7-8:30 pm
David Sanders presents an informative lecture on using native plants in our gardens to provide a welcoming environment for wildlife of all kinds. Healthy ecosystems are not only beautiful and fascinating, they are also essential to human well-being. As an added benefit, using native plants saves energy: they help combat weeds and other pests and virtually eliminate the need for fertilizer, pesticides, and irrigation. Advance registration recommended. Q & A follows slide presentation.
