Lonely Planet considers Somerville to be one of ten "most unexpectedly exciting places to see in the United States in 2016".

Chase away the winter chill with the Somerville Garden Club.

Tonight we will be showing excerpts from “Urban & Suburban Meadows: Bringing Meadowscaping to Big and Small Spaces,” a video made by Catherine Zimmerman and produced by The Meadow Project. The video focuses on the diversity of life inhabiting a meadow and the intricate connection between native plants, native insects and soil. Entomologist Doug Tallemy, and meadow experts Michael Nadeau, Larry Weaner, and Neil Diboll are featured.

Following the video club members who have made meadows of their own will share their knowledge and experiences. There will also be light refreshments and a chance to ask questions about your own gardens.

All Somerville Garden Club meetings are free and open to the public.

Tufts Administration Building, (TAB), 167 Holland Street, second floor, wheelchair accessible. Parking is available, and the building is a ten-minute walk from the Davis Square MBTA stop.
