Calling all gardeners! Join us in the Community Room on Tuesday, July 14 from 5 - 7 pm for a plant swap and to watch The Extraordinary Caterpillar, a powerful 60-minute documentary by Jeff McKay that reveals the essential (and often overlooked) role caterpillars play in sustaining life on Earth.

We’ll open the doors for the plant swap at 5 pm
and show the film at 6 pm.

Bring your indoor and outdoor plant cuttings, seedlings, and seeds, and leave with some new plants. Enjoy refreshments while we watch the film and unearth the story of the caterpillar.

Learn more about the documentary here:

Wild, dazzling landscapes exist right outside our doors, where tiny superheroes (caterpillars!) power biodiversity in the most surprising places. This film follows experts and enthusiasts, including Sam Jaffe and the Caterpillar Lab, Doug Tallamy and David Wagner, as they explore the unseen stories unfolding in our everyday surroundings, where these incredible animals support the food web and sustain the diverse, thriving ecosystems we all rely on.
