Did you know that the health of any lake is determined not only at the shoreline, but throughout the surrounding landscape, its watershed? From gardens and wooded slopes to driveways, wetlands, and backyard runoff, the lake begins uphill.

Join us for an engaging presentation by Bill Weeks, Advanced Master Gardener, about the Sunapee Uplands and the fascinating journey water takes across this glacially formed landscape before reaching the lake. Designed for gardeners, homeowners, and anyone who loves lakes, this presentation connects natural history with practical stewardship.

Discover how native plants, healthy soils, buffers, and thoughtful garden design can help slow runoff, support pollinators, and protect water quality. Along the way, you'll gain a new understanding of how your own property fits into the larger watershed—and how small actions can make a meaningful difference.

Come away with fresh ideas, a deeper appreciation for the landscape around you, and a new perspective: your garden is not separate from the lake—it is part of its protection system.
