Fall GPIP Meeting October 2, 2017

Posted on April 22, 2017January 30, 2025

Glastonbury Riverfront Community Center  7 – 9 PM

Following a short business meeting, we are pleased to present…

Dr. Richard Benfield’s presentation: “Plants Charlatans and James Bond-the history of our top ten plant foods”

Last fall, Dr. Benfield, Professor of Geography at CCSU, provided a photographic tour of our most beautiful parks. We found Dr. Benfield to be uniquely gifted in his presentation skills and all were captured by his wit and enthusiasm. We are sure he will once again delight us. We encourage you to come at 6:45 p.m. to sign up for fall cleanups and meet with other volunteers. All are welcome.

Please join us for an informative evening and consider volunteering for one or more of our fall cleanup projects.
