Garden Club of Wiscasset’s next meeting will be Nov. 7. We are excited to have as our presenter Dr. Irene Brady Barber, who previously was director of land conservation at  Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens.

Her program “Garden Design: A New England Lens” begins at 1 p.m. She will help us establish a sense of place, pertinent to the geographic conditions and cultural antiquity of our Maine Gardens. Maine, like all of New England, presents an unusual and unique landscape, from river valleys to beautiful fields and narrow stony corridors.The meeting is held at First Congregational Church, 28 High St. in Wiscasset.There is a brief business segment at 12:30 p.m. The program is free and open to the public. Refreshments follow the meeting.
