Are you interested in learning about native plants and rain gardens? Join this walk led by Amanda Hardy Sloan.

Sloan is a Sharon resident who spent her career as a landscape architect, with a particular focus on ecologically friendly design. In Sharon itself, she is responsible for the design of the areas at Memorial Park Beach, Griffin Playground, Sharon Dog Park, Deborah Sampson Ballpark Pavilion, several teaching gardens at the schools, the entry to the Community Center, and of the rain garden at Sharon Historical Society.

Join us on Saturday, September 26th, at 2 pm when she will walk us around the rain garden at Sharon Historical Society.  The garden should be at its best at this time of year, and we will learn about the plants she chose, and how they work to preserve the soil, help the water cycle, and encourage local pollinators.

Please join us, meet our SSC Board members, and learn more about what we do. Each meeting will have a Guest Speaker, but we really want to hear from YOU!
 
Location: Community Center, Townhall meeting room.

Julie Barbour-Issa, Energy Advocate for the Town of Norwood and Town of Sharon, will be our Guest Speaker, focusing on various energy program offerings.

Please join us for a Rake the Lake volunteer event! 
Rain date will be the  same time on November 16th.

We will meet at Veteran’s Memorial beach -- bring rakes if you have them! Volunteers will help clear leaves and exposed weeds from the shoreline at Memorial Beach and Community Center Beach.

Leaf litter contains phosphorus that drives cyanobacteria blooms. As they decay, they form a nutrient rich “muck” that fuels weed growth. The lake committee (LLMAC) is leading this event, and also kindly asking lakefront residents to rake the leaves out of the water near their shoreline, and away from the shore, annually.

Contact Debbie Tatro with questions (781-835-8258). Thank you!
