SUMMARY:Could Bugging Be the New Birding?  Tiny Creatures\, Big Discoveries!
DESCRIPTION:Discover the wonderful world of bugs that you can observe right in your own backyard! If you garden with native plants\, your yard is already hosting a vibrant\, miniature safari through bug-land. Finding and observing these small\, colorful creatures can be just as rewarding—and easy—as birdwatching! \nWith both birds and bugs on the decline\, see what you can do about it\, especially through native plant gardening. Learn some tips on how to use your smartphone as a tool for taking stunning\, detailed bug photos\, and apps like iNaturalist to help identify and easily log what you discover as part of a worldwide citizen science database. \nUnder the theme of “Buzz\, Crawl\, Flutter\, Wow!”\, attendees will be introduced to a fascinating cast of local characters\, including butterflies\, moths\, bees\, dragonflies\, ladybugs\, and spiders. Prepare to be amazed by the hidden\, dramatic spectacles playing out in the undergrowth: emerald bees packing copious amounts of pollen onto their legs\, clearwing moths that perfectly mimic hummingbirds\, tiny candy colored leafhoppers that shoot honeydew drops out their posterior\, carnivorous mantises stalking foraging bees\, and clever spiders masquerading as ants. The presentation will also feature an intimate look at the awe-inspiring lifecycle of monarch butterflies\, tracing their miraculous journey from a tiny egg to a winged marvel. \nOur guide for the evening is Ted Kuklinski\, an amateur bird and bug enthusiast who has been fascinated by the natural world since childhood. His focus shifted closer to home when his own front yard transitioned to milkweed and native plants\, revealing an unexpected explosion of life. A dedicated local conservationist\, Ted is a past president of the Newton Conservators\, steward of the Dolan Pond Conservation Area\, a board member of the Friends of Wellington Park\, and a key organizer of the popular Newton Monarch Festival and Newton Pollinator Garden Tour. \nThis free presentation is proudly cosponsored by the Newton Free Library\, the Newton Conservators\, Newton Parks\, Recreation & Culture\, and the Newton Community Pollinator Project. \nRegistration for this FREE event is encouraged\, and you’ll get a reminder if you sign up. Walk-ins are also welcome.

SUMMARY:Artist Talk: The Memory Quilt
DESCRIPTION:Join Newton Cemetery & Arboretum’s 2025-26 Artist-in-Residence Kasey Kaufman for a talk on her Memory Quilt Project\, an evolving series of mixed-media works composed of intimate “memory tiles” built from fragments—images of nature\, place\, objects\, handwriting\, and absence—layered together the way memory itself is formed: imperfectly\, emotionally\, and over time. \nInspired by the cemetery’s history and landscape—and by stories shared by families remembering loved ones buried there—the work reflects themes of grief\, connection\, love\, and remembrance\, and considers what remains after loss. Kasey will share images from the project\, discuss her process and research\, and reflect on how personal and collective memory shape the pieces. \nBefore becoming a full-time artist\, Kaufman spent more than two decades as an award-winning television journalist at WBZ-TV. She now explores storytelling through paint\, texture\, and collage\, exhibits throughout the East Coast\, and is a member of the Copley Society of Art. \nParking is available in the parking lot next to the chapel.\nRegister in advance ~ Space is limited.\nDonations gratefully accepted! Suggested donation: $15

SUMMARY:Workshop: Build your own self-watering veggie planter!
DESCRIPTION:At Fulfilled Goods\, we are all about reusing and repurposing existing materials vs. tossing them in a landfill. Many of the products we stock in our refillery come to us in 5 gallon buckets. We usually send the empties back to our closed-loop partners to clean and reuse. But when we heard about global buckets – a self-watering planter made from 5 gallon buckets – we were so excited by the idea that we wanted to try it out! \nJoin us and Farmer Tim (our CSA partner*) as he demonstrates how to build a global bucket. We’ll provide all the supplies you need including composted soil courtesy of Black Earth Composting. Farmer Tim will be bringing a variety of tomato\, pepper and eggplant plants from his greenhouse for you to choose from. So you’ll go home with your own self-watering planter ready to go! (or rather\, ready to GROW! ) \nDate and Time: Tuesday June 9\, 6:30pm\nWorkshop cost: $35
