LOVELL — The Charlotte Hobbs Library is happy to present Nancy Donovan in person at the library’s community room at 11 a.m. on Saturday, May 25. Donovan is a contributing editor for the Bridgton News with her column Down the Garden Path. She is a Master Gardener and will speak on her gardening experiences.
She writes, “In January of 2020 I enrolled in the Maine Cooperative Extension Master Gardener Volunteer Program (the South Paris office) with the goal of learning successful gardening practices for my own gardens, and so that I could potentially assist others in avoiding gardening errors. A major focus of mine is to plant perennials that are native to Maine so that I can support Maine birds, bees, butterflies and other pollinators. While my Ph.D. in exercise science, and my career as a physical therapist, provided very rewarding way of life, I am now able to place my energy into understanding how critical it is that attention is paid to the ecosystem that surrounds each one of us. Pollinators are critical for the health of the environment and the health of humans. I have found that as I provide the plants that provide pollen and nectar for our pollinators, I am rewarded by the joy and calm they provide when I take the time to watch and listen.”
Donated plants and garden talk will be available. We hope to see you there.
