Native Plants for Your Outer Cape Garden and the Pollinator Pathway

Join us as Paul Greenspan of the Master Gardener’s Association of Cape Cod discusses the importance of native plants and the Cape Cod pollinator pathway. Paul will talk about the Atlantic Coastal Pine Barrens Ecoregion, keystone species, and his personal journey caring for 1/3 of an acre of sunny and dry Wellfleet carver sandy soil. Paul’s wide ranging presentation will cover a wealth of subjects, so come and learn about them all. 

Established in 1993, the Master Gardener Association of Cape Cod (MGACC) is a collaborative effort between trained community volunteers and Cape Cod Cooperative staff.  Its mission is helping others learn to grow, with a focus on providing the Cape Cod community with research-based horticultural information on sustainable plants, gardens and landscapes through volunteer efforts and in collaboration with the Cape Cod Cooperative Extension.

Paul lives in Wellfleet where he spends his time gardening, organizing musical events and messing around in his sailboat or out on the oyster flats. He has been a Barnstable County Master Gardener for 3 years.
