Last Blooms of Summer Slide Show

Master Gardner Chris Benard presents "The Last Blooms Of Summer" slide show on Monday, September 8 at 10:30am in the Community Room at Wood Library. The program highlights both wildflowers and weeds growing in the fields, along the roads, down in the swamp and sometimes, unfortunately, in our yards. You will learn their origins, how they were used in the past and which ones may reappear as modern medical marvels. Coffee and breakfast snacks served. The program is open to the public. Donations are accepted.

Chris Benard is a Master Gardener, currently President of the Victor Garden Club and past Trees Chairman for 7th District Federated Garden Clubs of New York. Benard has an avid interest in wild plant lore and presents slide shows on the subject to organizations and groups.
