SUMMARY:Theatre III presents Miss Holmes
DESCRIPTION:A play by Christopher M. Walsh.\n\nWhen an anonymous note sends a newlywed wife looking for help\, Miss Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Dorothy Watson work together to uncover the secrets surrounding a corrupt police inspector whose wives keep turning up dead. But this Holmes and Watson face far greater challenges than bringing the cunning criminal to justice.\n\nIn an era where gender roles are rigidly defined\, these women dare to challenge societal norms. Inspired by the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle\, this theatrical fan fiction explores what added obstacles would be faced by these two iconic characters if they were women. \nNOTE: Due to weather storm warnings\, the Sunday\, Jan. 25 show has been postponed to Thursday\, Jan. 29. For more information\, see https://www.theatre3.org/visit/tickets. \n\n\n

SUMMARY:Acton Garden Club presents: Invasive Plants: Techniques you don't know + how to fight them with native plants
DESCRIPTION:Invasive plants range from a minor nuisance to a dire threat to endangered species and entire forests.  How to tell the difference?  And what are the best ways to identify and remove the plants that can do the greatest harm? This presentation by Lisey Good will help gardeners identify common invasive plants in Massachusetts and will teach them how to deal with the very worst offenders.  She includes new techniques developed abroad– and even some “passive” methods that use native plants to fight the battle. \nLisey Good is the founder of Massachusetts-based environmental group Wild Cohasset\, which works to support the native plants of New England and to help all the wildlife that depend upon these plants for survival.
