Burning Bush Bonfire, a celebration highlighting the beauty and significance of native plants, will take place at Unity Church Hill Nursery on October 24 from 4-8 P.M. Festivities include live music, craft beers, local wines, great food, and a bit of education. Admission is free.
At 4 PM Eric Buehl will talk about “Plants with Bad Habits” and conservation planting. He will then lead a walk through the nursery for a show and tell, highlighting native plants that thrive in the mid and upper Eastern Shore Region. There is no charge for Eric’s presentation, but those wishing to attend should call 410-556-6010 to reserve a space.
Robin Affron from Adkins Arboretum will be staffing a table, Barbara Ellis will be signing her book, “Chesapeake Gardening & Landscaping ,” and staff from the Church Hill Theatre will be on hand with information on upcoming performances. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of beer and wine from this event will help support the Theatre.
Egalitarian and The Dinkendo Family Band will entertain guests with their lively music. At dusk non-native invasive plants will be placed on the bonfire to be welcomed back to the earth as ashes. Unity will serve complimentary hot cider and s’mores by the fire, and The Black Burro Food Truck will be selling their delicious tacos and burritos.
Eric Buehl is a Regional Watershed Restoration Specialist with the University of Maryland Sea Grant Extension Program.
