Please mark your calendars for Saturday, July 15, 2023, from 9 am – 12 noon for an invasive plants removal party with your Civic Projects Committee. If you are interested, please text, email, or call Beth Ann so that she can plan accordingly. She will have handouts, and guided instruction will be provided. Many of you joined us last year, so you will need only a little review. More information will follow soon about best attire, gear to bring, and more.
As you know, invasive plants are non-native species that spread aggressively in natural areas. Invasive plants have replaced native species in many different habitats in Connecticut. When native plants are displaced in the landscape, the diversity of native birds, insects, other animals, and plants may be decreased and ecosystem functions may suffer.
We have one more invasive plant removal party on the calendar for November 4, 2023, from 9 am – 12 noon.

The Robert A. Prill Annual Garden has different plantings every year. This year’s garden was designed by horticulturist Rosemary Aldridge.
During the winter, the Conservancy horticulturist and gardeners plant annuals from seed in the greenhouses. Seeds are ordered in the late fall by the horticulturist, and unique flowers are selected. By June, the annuals are ready to be planted in the garden. Again, the flowers are changed each year to make the beds different. The Annual Garden blooms all summer into the fall. In early October, the annuals are removed by the staff, and the soil is roto-tilled to make room for the tulip bulbs to be planted.
Join us for a moonlit evening stroll through Elizabeth Park and the Pond House gardens.
The tour will be led by Kathy Kraczkowsky, Director of Park Operations, and Louis Lista, Chef and Owner of the Pond House Cafe.
The tour is FREE and begins at the Pond House Cafe.
