TRAILSIDE WILDFLOWERS

May 18, 2:30-4:00PM


There are many excellent hiking trails in and around Lubec. When exploring these grand landscapes of coniferous forests, sand beaches, and rocky ledges, what may go unnoticed are the many wildflowers growing along the way.

On behalf of the Lubec Garden Club, Lubec residents, and the Lubec Memorial Library, Maine Master Naturalists Kris and Allison Paprocki will give a presentation at the Lubec Library about the trailside wildflowers you can find in Lubec throughout the seasons. The audience will learn some basic skills in identifying flowers as well as suggestions for self-guided wildflower walks. Exploring nature is a wonderful pastime for young and old, and families are encouraged to attend.

Seed Library

The Seed Library is gearing up for the second growing season; sponsored again by the Lubec Memorial Library, the Lubec Garden Club and the Lubec Community Outreach Center.  Thanks to generous donors we are continuing the gardening tradition here in Lubec.  We have seeds for every style of garden: organic, vegetable, herb, or flower.  We will be filling varieties as we receive them.  Stop in often to see what’s available. If you have a special request let us know and we can try to find it for you. And if you have some seeds to donate, we will be happy to use them.
The Seed Library is located inside the Lubec Memorial Library near the service desk.
The seeds are arranged alphabetically.  We have seed envelopes and other supplies so that you can take just a few seeds, several seeds or an entire pack depending on your needs.  Start your garden here at the library! 
“Think small – plant tiny seeds in the small space you are given – you can change the world – or at least your view of it.”
