Advanced Beginners' Book Group:  6:30-7:30 p.m.

Hoot 'N' Hollah Sing-along: 3-4 p.m.

Create your own "recycled" instrument and be part of the band at this raucous sing-along. We'll sing classic favorites with a twist. For kids aged 3+ with an adult. (Younger siblings welcome.) Please register with an adult Merrimack library card. 

Edible Perennial Gardening and Landscaping: 7-8:30 p.m.

Naturalist John Root will present a slide show featuring trees, shrubs, canes, vines, and herbaceous perennials that can be grown for produce in our region. Audiences learn organic gardening practices for cultivating healthy soils, plants, and biotic communities to ensure abundant crops of fruits, nuts, and vegetables throughout the growing season with minimal maintenance. Bring your questions. Handouts with a list of edible perennial plant species, resources for further study, and recommended sources of seeds and plants will be available. A few sample plants may be available for sale for cash or personal check. Seating is limited, so registration is encouraged.
