WATERFORD — The 16th annual Sheena Fraser Garden Lecture will take place at 7 p.m. Tuesday, June 25, at the Waterford Library.
Eli Goodwin of Goodwin Nursery in Oxford will discuss “Underused Landscape Plants.”
Goodwin grew up in the Oxford Hills area and graduated from Hebron Academy. In 2002 he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in landscape architecture from Cornell University. Before returning home to Maine he worked in the Boston area for two landscape architectural design firms developing landscape architectural plans for different institutions like colleges and hospitals.
The Sheena Fraser garden lectures are supported by an endowment created by the family and friends of Sheena Fraser, a native of England. Fraser’s love of plants and her garden across from the Waterford Library made the endowment a significant tribute after her untimely death.
As well, each year books on gardening and related topics are added to the Sheena Fraser Collection in her memory. This collection now contains more than 100 books on landscaping, vegetable gardening, perennials and annuals, including practical advice for both the master and the beginning gardener.
The program is free and the public is invited.
