Resilient Greenfield Organizing Party 5/5, 2-5pm LAVA

The LAVA Center 324 Main Street, Greenfield, MA, United States

Resilient Greenfield is a new way to shift from climate crisis avoidance, distraction, aimless talk or symbolic action to community-based, results-oriented organizing and project work. Join us for an afternoon of music, food, conversation and community building at The LAVA Center. Bring an instrument, potluck food, and/or your ideas to answer, "What can we do together in response to the climate crisis?" After the fun (3:30ish), we'll talk to climate experts, organizers and nonprofits about how to make Greenfield more resilient to climate impacts, ending with an open conversation about visions and next steps for Resilient Greenfield. Register soon, please!. LAVA only has space for 47 people. Childcare will be provided - please indicate need when you register.

Houseplants 101 with Danielle Lucier

Greenfield Public Library 412 Main St, Greenfield, MA, United States

In this workshop Danielle will be going over house plant care- including how to choose plants based on your lighting, where to go for purchasing plants, and how to care for them once you get them home. She will also review different types of propagation, types of soil and potting mediums, and how to choose what’s best for each plant in your collection. There will also be some time for Q&A so feel free to bring any questions regarding your plants or some photos of plants you’d like some advice on! Danielle Lucier is a Greenfield native who’s been working with plants since childhood. Growing up with two garden-loving grandmothers, she’s always had an interest in caring for plants and learning how to make them grow to their greatest potential. She has worked as a nursery head at a local exotic plants greenhouse for over 3 years, and owns her own indoor plant consultation business called Danielle.Grows, where she helps folks find the perfect plants for their spaces and learn how to take care of them. She’s also built a personal plant collection of over 280 species of rare plants over the last 14 years that she tends to daily.
