This 90-minute session is lesson one of a four-part series on foraged flowers which will be taught by the Milton Garden Club in honor of the club's 100th anniversary. Horticultural programming and conservation education are primary tenets of the club's work and this year the club intends to broaden their community programming through workshops and lectures.
