Strategic plant choices in even the tiniest of gardens can greatly help hummingbirds, finches, orioles and more! Doors for non-members will open at 9:50AM.

Suggested possible questions you might want to ask this month:
Where should we site a new data center?
Can we ever get Millis and Medway returned to us?
Can we give the white pylons names?
Will the Select Board ever do what I want?

Do you dream of a profusion of flowering perennials and shrubs in your yard? Sick of watering, raking, weeding?
Please come to Neal Sanders’ presentation “Reclaim Your Roots: How Native Plants Can Save you Money and Time”, Thursday September 30 at 6:30 at the Medfield Public Safety Building, 112 North St.
Local resident and nationally known author, Neal Sanders will present – with a great deal of humor and personal experience– the benefits of using native plants to establish your own show stopping landscape without the heartache. Discover how to identify and safely remove invasive plants and introduce native perennials that replace water guzzling lawns and thirsty annuals. He will also stress ‘going native’ is not an all-or-nothing deal – it’s okay to have lawn and non-natives: it’s all about the balance! And the local neighbors, flora and fauna, will admire your efforts!
This presentation is brought to you by The Medfield Garden Club and SustainableMedfield. More information can be found at https://tinyurl.com/muynefu6. Questions can be directed to Info@sustainableMedfield.org.

MEDFIELD, MA — Sustainable Medfield will welcome WGBH meteorologist and Boston Globe weather columnist David Epstein to Medfield High School on Thursday, October 22 at 7:00 p.m. for Weathering Change: Small Steps, Real Connection, a Livable Planet.
Epstein has spent his career watching the sky, tracking storms, and paying close attention to what’s changing. In this presentation, he steps back from the forecast to explore something bigger: how we see ourselves in relation to the natural world and the impact of our daily actions.
Climate change is part of the conversation, but so is something more hopeful. Epstein makes the case that we are not separate from nature, we are part of it, and that the small choices we make each day matter: planting native species, appreciating our yards and Medfield’s open spaces, and living lighter on the earth. Not because any one of them solves the problem, but because they change how we live inside it.
Expect science, humor, some hard truths, and a genuinely optimistic path forward.
The program will be held at 7:00 p.m. in the Medfield High School Auditorium, 88R South Street, Medfield. Residents of Medfield and surrounding communities are invited to attend.
David Epstein is the Morning Edition meteorologist for WGBH and a weather columnist for the Boston Globe. He graduated from Colby College and studied meteorology at Lyndon State College. He also holds a master’s degree in education and an MBA from Boston College.
The evening is presented by Sustainable Medfield with funding from the Medfield Foundation’s Legacy Fund, which gives grants to community nonprofit causes, supporting Medfield today and over the long term. Sustainable Medfield is an initiative of the Medfield Foundation. Go to MedfieldFoundation.org to learn more.

Medfield Select Board member
I started this blog to share the interesting and useful information that I saw while doing my job as a Medfield select board member. I thought that my fellow Medfield residents would also find that information interesting and useful as well. This blog is my effort to assist in creating a system to push the information out from the Town House to residents. Let me know if you have any thoughts on how it can be done better.
For information on my other job as an attorney (personal injury, civil litigation, estate planning and administration, and real estate), please feel free to contact me at 617-969-1500 or Osler.Peterson@OslerPeterson.com.
