News & Events
Winter 2026
As the wind continues to blow and temps remain in the teens, with below zero wind chills, we are sometimes dealing with white out conditions and icy paths. All of this while the perrenials lie below their blanket of frigid snow waiting, waiting to greet the sunshine and brighten our days in months ahead.
Although we typically meet the third Tuesday of the month at the library, winter brings with it a change in schedule. We took a break in January and will gather on screen for a zoom meeting February 17th. In March it's back to the library for our meeting and a guest speaker.

Homegrown National Parks
Charlevoix Public Library
We will have a video talk by Dr. Doug Tallamy, author of several books on how to help our birds and insects survive in a world that is tearing down our 1820 wild spaces at an alarming rate. He is an excellent speaker and a very informative author. Some of his books are: Bringing Nature Home, How Can I Help, and Nature’s Best Hope, there are many more. Come see how we can do our part in helping nature continue to thrive.
There will be a business meeting after.

Seed Starting
Charlevoix Public Library
At Grulers Gardens, Monica grows and sells straight species native plants, herbs, fresh cut flowers and hand-crafted items inspired by nature. Visitors are welcome at scheduled events or by appointment only; they do not have retail hours.
Monica Gruler will tell us how she decides what to grow. How she starts her seeds. There are secrets that a lot of seed sellers don’t tell us.
One of the great joys of gardening is the element of surprise. Seeing some new insect or bird enjoying a plant validates our efforts. A relationship begins with some tiny creature whose life has been made easier because of something we have done. Suddenly we feel part of nature again.
