ANNUAL MEETING PROGRAM, JUNE 29

"Thriving Habitats – Helping You Create a Healthier Landscape"

Six Ponds residents Love Albrecht Howard and Susanne Lucas have decades of experience designing, planting, maintaining, critiquing, and renovating man-made landscapes and gardens in southeastern Massachusetts. Each also has a keen appreciation of natural ecosystems of native flora and fauna in our unique coastal pine barrens.

Living among the sandy soils in the woods of our Six Ponds neighborhood, Love and Susanne know successful plant cultivation techniques, native plant identification, invasive weed control, and how to obtain a healthy balance on the property surrounding your home. Healthy landscaping pond-side is particularly important; protecting the watershed and ponds from potential contaminants is essential in maintaining optimal vitality of our region’s environment.

Learn how to work responsibly with our fragile pond-front properties, understand the rules set by the Town of Plymouth’s Conservation Commission following the mandate of the 1962 Wetlands Protection Act to protect our water resources, why spraying for mosquitoes and ticks is harmful, and much more.

Come with your questions and an open mind to how “maintenance” doesn’t mean losing nature, but rather finding a balance that allows for aesthetics, wellness, and co-existence.
