Virtual discussion hosted by the FDR Library in Hyde Park • It has been said that an army travels on its stomach, and never was this more true than during the dark days of WWII. FDR Library Education Specialist Jeffrey Urbin examines the unprecedented contributions made by millions of ordinary Americans who fought the war literally in their own backyards growing food for themselves, the army, and our allies in small plots known as Victory Gardens. Live Q&A in the Facebook comments and YouTube chat, following the presentation. • Stream live on YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook
Join the FDR Home Historic Site Beatrix Farrand Garden Association Educator and Horticulturist for a day of insect identification in the garden. As part of National Pollinator Week attendees will observe and document native pollinators in this socially distanced guided event. Participants can use the iNaturalist platform to upload images and make an important contribution to science, but smartphones are not required to participate. Garden lovers of all ages are encouraged to spend some time helping us identify our most important seasonal visitors: pollinators!
