Upcoming Speakers

2026 Speakers So Far

FEBRUARY 19, 2026

Our second speaker of the year will be another of our own: Jane Sherrott.  Jane will present on an intriguing and increasingly popular topic,  "Developing and Maintaining Ecologically-vibrant Alternatives to Traditional Grass Lawns".

Jane is a hobby gardener on the North Shore who enjoys volunteering in community garden projects. Journeying away from large lawn areas that consumed too much time, water and fertilizer, Jane learned how we can manage traditional grass lawns in a more environmentally-friendly manner before she tore out her lawns and replaced them with tough, flowering groundcovers. Jane will share some of the insights she’s learned about ecologically-friendly lawn maintenance practices and how to develop an easy-care, non-grass lawn area that brings insects, birds, butterflies and other wildlife into a garden in abundance.
