• and those concerned about pollution, traffic, roads, and accessibility.

Come discuss the state of the state’s 

public transit, and ways to improve it.

Subject: Upcoming lecture on ecosystem gardening with RI native plants
Date: May 20 2025 530PM

Ecosystem Gardening with RI Native Wildflowers – Rhode Island Wild Plant Society
 riwps.org

 Please share widely! The more ecoregion-centric gardens we have in our neighborhood, the better for our native/local pollinators and birds. Even devoting just a small section of your garden to native plants will benefit the wildlife around us.

 This slide lecture, by Karen Asher of the RI Wild Plant Society, will take place next Tuesday, May 20th, from 5:30 to 6:30 pm, at the RI Historical Society’s Aldrich House, 110 Benevolent Street in Providence. The lecture is free and open to the public, but registration is required.

 Come find out why using plants native to our ecoregion is so important, and learn which ones are right for your garden’s particular conditions—“right plant, right place.”
