2024 Winter Lecture Series: Seeing the Seasons: Through the Lens of Native Plants with Samantha Bean (January 28, 2024)

Upon adding native plants periodically in the last few years to increase biodiversity through the creation of seasonally evolving habitats for pollinators and birds, Flutter By Meadows has evolved into an unfolding seasonal tapestry: a 1-acre detention basin turned wildflower meadow, a few mini meadows and plenty of native plants and shrubs including a rain garden are continuously evolving with the seasons. Seeing the Seasons: Through the Lens of Native Plants is a journey that meanders through the garden taking notice of the role native plants play in awakening our senses to what surrounds us.

Samantha Bean loves to chronicle her discoveries about creatures that share her home while describing the habitats that exist for them on her blog. Blending the exhilaration of learning all about native plants that pique her curiosity every day with her love of writing, Flutter By Meadows is what she calls her home, her passion, her blog and her hobby. Watching the changes that take place just steps from her house, Bean is continually documenting those moments, inspiring others on the year-round magic of native plants.
