ABOUT THE EVENT
The next event in Phoenixville Public Library’s co-sponsored “Community Gardening around the Village” series will take place on Sunday, March 5 from 2:30 to 3:30 PM. Martha Napolitan Cownap, a Pennsylvania Master Naturalist and lead herb gardener at Camphill Village Kimberton Hills, will lead a “Winter Tree Walk” at Reservoir Park, 601 Franklin Avenue, Phoenixville. Come enjoy the beauty of the trees of Reservoir Park in their winter glory, and learn to identify them by seeing their silhouettes, buds and leaf scars, feeling their barks, and smelling their scratched twigs. Learn something about the trees that you meet. Find out why native oaks are important to plant if you love birds. Learn which parts of pine have been used as an emergency food source. Hear why you shouldn’t plant a black walnut next to your vegetable garden. And more! Meets at the parking lot near the community garden in Reservoir Park. This event is free and open to the public.
