Come meet the Pond Hags, three “habitaters" who met through volunteering. Keren, Jesse, and Pam design landscapes, grow plants, and help others to garden with native plants. Their talk promises to be entertaining and informational. This is a timely subject for gardeners who are concerned about climate change and habitat loss. This presentation is sponsored by the West Linn Garden Club, which will be meeting before the presentation at 6:30 PM. If you are interested in hearing more about the garden club you are invited to arrive early and attend their meeting.
