Peter Scavongelli of FoxRock Farms will give a talk on the best native plants to incorporate into your Cape Ann yard and how to create a succession of blooms that last from early spring to late fall. The presentation will also include information on where to find these plants and additional tips on the ways plants can help combat honey bee diseases and pests such as varroa mite.
