Wild plant reproduction and how our landscape practices affect native plants in natural areas and in our gardens.The seeds of wild plants have a different set of needs than those of garden and vegetable species. In this talk at the Camden Public Library on Tuesday, August 15, 7:00 pm, Heather will describe the reproductive life cycle of different types of native plants and explain how we can change our landscape practices to help support wild plant reproduction and pollinators, birds and other wildlife. Growing native plants from seed is a different way to interact with our native flora and is an inexpensive way to produce a lot of plants. Heather will explain native seed sowing and out door propagation techniques. Fall is an excellent time to sow the native seeds.
Heather McCargo, the founder and director of the Wild Seed Project, is an educator with 30 years of expertise in plant propagation, landscape design and conservation. She was the head plant propagator at the New England Wildflower Society’s Garden in the Woods in the 90’s, worked at several landscape architecture/planning firms specializing in ecological design, has been a contributor to several research projects with USAID, National Gardening Association, and with MOFGA. She has lectured nationally and is widely published in journals and magazines such as Horticulture and American Nurseryman. Locally she designed the master plan for the medicinal gardens at Avena Botanicals in Rockland and was the creator and lead teacher for the Bay School’s Agricultural Arts program. Heather has a MA from the Conway School of Landscape Design and BA in plant ecology from Hampshire College.
Wild landscapes in Maine are rapidly being developed and as a result native plant populations are diminishing. This loss of wild plant species has a ripple effect on biodiversity and ecosystem health. Native plants have an evolutionary history with insects and other fauna and are the foundation for a healthy, ecologically diverse environment. When native plants are absent from a landscape, so are many other creatures.
Native plants are adapted to every type of ecosystem in Maine and many species thrive in urban and developed environments. Fortunately, when native plants are reintroduced into a landscape, many of the other creatures with whom they coevolved also return. Unfortunately, commercial offerings of native plants remain limited and many nurseries do not have the time or knowledge to collect seeds. There is a need for locally sourced seeds that are collected from genetically diverse wild populations or from uncultivated forms growing in gardens.
Cortney Sukeforth will hold an information session at the Camden Public Library on Tuesday, August 15 at 5:00 pm. The topic will be how to grow your own food, even if you have a small yard or no yard at all! You can even grow your own food indoors, with a Tower Garden. There will also be segments of the documentary “SEED: The Untold Story” shown, and a discussion on sustainable food production.
Come for this presentation, then stay and hear Heather McCargo of the Wild Seed Project speak about protecting native Maine species at 7:00.

Rockland, Maine - Emilia Dahlin performs during 70th annual Maine Lobster Festival on Friday, August 4th, 2017 in Rockland, Maine.
Born on a small farm south of Boston to a musical instrument collecting father and accordion playing mother, Emilia was destined for a life of music. She started piano, formally, at the age of five and trained classically for the next thirteen years. It was Christmas day, 1996, when Emilia decided she wanted to play the guitar. She went up to the attic, pulled out a warped and worn guitar, that once belonged to her great grandfather, and started to play. She never stopped.
Now, wielding a voice that defies the size of her body and strong storytelling sensibilities, Emilia Dahlin has carved out her name as a unique songstress. She weaves mesmerizing tales (complete with Greek myths, robotic messiahs, epic floods, and tax evaders) with raw, rootsy folk and dynamic jazz vocals. Her well-crafted songs sound as if they've been left outside where time and weather have worn cracks for the wind to whip through. Her sky-rocketing energy is delivered with honesty. She's a “self-made original” and the quintessential indie musician, wearing the hat of artist, manager, booking agent, and publicist at once.
Emilia still resides in Portland, Maine where she was voted "Best Female Vocalist of 2005 through 2007" and "Best Singer/Songwriter of 2006".
Her career highlights include;
•Playing over 400 shows nationally
•Winner - Great Waters Songwriting Contest ‘07
•Winner - Great Waters Songwriting Contest ‘07
•Winner - Starbuck’s Music Makers Regional Songwriting Competition ‘07
•Finalist - Mountain Stage Newsong Northeast Songwriting Contest ‘07
•Featured in Downeast Magazine’s “10 Musicians to Watch” ‘07
•Reviewed in Performing Songwriter’s 100th Issue '07
•Finalist in Telluride Bluegrass Festival's Troubadour Competition ‘06
