Dedee writes that these are photos from Wednesday’s book study.
“We had 14 people there, Aimee’s home is spectacular, a wonderful hostess, great discussion and then a wonderful lunch. People sat around and chatted at the luncheon table until 2:00. What a wonderful relaxed afternoon. Playing hooky from all the “to do” lists we all have. A great mix of longtime members and newer members.”

We are thrilled to announce that Director of Horticulture Uli Lorimer is the new “Ask the Gardener” columnist for The Boston Globe! Following long-time columnist Carol Stocker and more recently, R. Wayne Mezitt, Uli will explore garden-related topics and answer questions submitted by Globe readers in a biweekly column, while remaining full time at Native Plant Trust.

"I'm deeply honored and thrilled with the opportunity," says Uli, author of The Northeast Native Plant Primer. "Gardens have a unique power to build connections between humans and the natural world. I am looking forward to exploring the ways in which gardens can help us grow together towards a brighter, greener future.”

“Anyone who knows Uli knows that he was made for this role,” says Tim Johnson, CEO of Native Plant Trust. “He has been teaching and inspiring gardeners for decades.”
