An Evening of Ecosystems with the Garden Club
January 21 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
Join the Marshall Area Garden Club to learn about ecosystems with Professor Leah Knapp from The University of Olivet’s Biology Department. Learn about the factors that determine habitats on a large, medium, small & even micro scale, & how plants are adapted to them. Discover the ecosystems you have in your own garden, & how to work with them, enhance them, or even create them. Those interested in learning more about the club are invited to stay for a short business meeting to follow.
Registration required. This program will be available both in-person & via Zoom. The Zoom link will be provided upon registration.
