SUMMARY:(The )Magic(al) (Is/of )Here: Large-Scale Paintings of Local Flowers by Maggie Stanley
DESCRIPTION:April 3-30 in the Munroe Gallery at the Concord Main Library. See library website for daily hours. \nImmerse yourself in the beauty of local flowers as we await their blooming in later spring and summer. \nMost of the paintings in this show are based on photographs taken on walks throughout Concord\, including at Great Meadows\, the Buttrick Estate\, Concord Community Gardens\, the “wisteria house” across the street from the Main Library\, and even the Keyes Road municipal parking lot. \nMany of the works were created in 2024 for Flora(l) Portals\, my solo show in the skylit atrium of the Morse Institute Library in Natick\, MA. Because the pieces were hung from balcony railings and viewed from a distance\, I used canvases ranging from 3 to 6 feet in height—hence the name of that show\, as some of the paintings are almost the size of doors. \nI’m a largely self-taught artist\, born and raised in Massachusetts\, with my childhood spent in Arlington\, Sudbury\, and then Concord\, where I now reside. Although I’ve worked in multiple mediums\, my main focus the past few years has been floral paintings on textured canvas\, which I started while in Lois Andersen’s Monday Night Painters group at The Umbrella Arts Center. I am ever-appreciative of Lois\, the camaraderie of the group\, and the variety of local trails and publicly-accessible gardens that provide such an abundance of beauty. I hope my art can convey some of that beauty to others\, no matter the season\, and encourage exploration when the conditions are right! \nwww.maggiestanley.net

SUMMARY:Sustainable Landscaping at Mount Auburn Cemetery
DESCRIPTION:Dave Barnett recently retired from Mount Auburn Cemetery\, where he spent 28 years leading the transition to more ecologically friendly landscape design and maintenance practices. Dave will share examples of how the staff at Mount Auburn converted many areas of labor-intensive and carbon-intensive lawns to various lower-maintenance meadow and groundcover plantings. Most of these changes were small-scale projects\, ranging from a butterfly/pollinator garden to plantings of groundcovers\, perennials and shrubs that both reduced mowing needs and greatly enhanced the ecological value to pollinators\, birds and other wildlife. \nDave started at Mount Auburn Cemetery in 1993 as Director of Horticulture\, was promoted to Vice President of Operations & Horticulture in 1999\, and then became President & CEO in 2008. After 28 years at Mount Auburn\, he retired in September 2021. Prior to Mount Auburn\, Dave held various other positions in the field of public horticulture. His educational background includes a B.S. in Environmental Horticulture from the University of Connecticut\, and an M.S. in Environmental Horticulture and a Ph.D. in Ecology from the University of California\, Davis. Honors Dave has received include the American Public Gardens Association’s Honorary Life Member Award\, the Garden Club of America’s Distinguished Service Medal\, and the Massachusetts Horticultural Society’s Gold Medal. \nThe Concord Free Public Library is committed to providing everyone with unimpeded access to our resources\, programs\, and services. Learn more about accessibility at our libraries. You can also email our administration team or give us a call at either of our libraries to request additional accommodations. \nThe Concord Free Public Library’s programs are free to the public thanks to the generous support of the Friends of the Concord Free Public Library and the Concord Free Public Library Corporation.
