Looking for the perfect green match for your home? Author Tovah Martin will start the evening with her lecture full of easily hosted ideas. No matter what your home environment offers, we’ve got you covered with recommendations for plants that will become copacetic roommates. If your home features sunny windows or shady sills; if your home is Sahara dry or comfortably spa-like—this lecture will leave you filled with hope, and an adoption list. Plus, the suggested plants do so much more than just sit around being green. The goal is to find botanical companions that will make your life ultra-beautiful. Dense with design ideas for wannabee indoor gardeners of all tastes, crammed with firsthand wisdom for care and cultivation of all the suggested companions, this lecture covers all the bases. Want to adopt a houseplant? Here’s how to fit your lifestyle with flair.

After the conclusion of Tovah’s presentation, WTML will be hosting a Plant Swap for attendees. If you wish to participate, bring 1 or 2 healthy, pest-free, small plants or cuttings of any kind to swap. Plants in soil or rooted cuttings in water are welcome and should be labeled with at least the type of plant to help guide its new owner in its care. Don’t have a plant to swap? No problem, we’ll have a couple of extras to take home. Please only bring pots you are willing to part with.

Registration begins April 24th, online or by calling the library’s Reference Department at 860-652-7720.
