Members of the local community are invited to take a self-guided tour and join in the repotting clinic held at Wheaton's greenhouse on Thursday, May 20, from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. and again from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. Visitors are encouraged to bring a house plant they wish to repot and a pot two inches larger than the current container. The greenhouse staff will assist aspiring green thumbs as needed, and advise on proper plant care.
Located at the rear of the Wheaton Science Center, the greenhouse provides facilities for student and faculty research projects. Donations to cover the costs of the soil are accepted in lieu of an admission fee. For more information, please call Jane Young at 508 -286-3943.
