Join us on Thursday, March 16 at 10:30 am for a special presentation on Native Carnivorous Plants with Master Gardener, John Twomey and David Schloat from the New England Carnivorous Plant Society.

John and David will be talking all about the North American Pitcher Plant (Sarracenia) including where it can be found and how to grow and care for them. They will also discuss the famous Venus Flytrap and will have some live plants to show.

The URI Master Gardeners will also be on-site with an information kiosk before and after the talk to answer any gardening questions you have.

Free and open to all. Registration is required with in-person and Zoom (online) options available!

After the presentation, seniors 60-years-of-age and older are invited to go down to the Peck Center for lunch at 11:45 am. Lunch can be enjoyed for a suggested donation of $3. Please call 401-247-1926 x201 to reserve your seat for lunch at least 24 hours before.
