Popular Berkshire Eagle columnist Ron Kujawski will present a power point presentation on Sheffield planting schemes and gardening plants called, "Plants that will thrive in your garden." The program will take place at the meeting of the Sheffield Historical Society on Friday, March 13, at 7:30 pm in Dewey Memorial Hall.

A resident of Great Barrington, MA, Ron Kujawski, is retired from UMass Extension where he spent 30 years as a nursery specialist in the Landscape, Nursery and Urban Forestry program. Prior to his work at UMass, he developed and directed the Environmental Studies program at Bard College at Simon's Rock. A doctor of Biological Sciences, Mr. Kujawski conducted research at SUNY Albany in forest ecology and plant physiology.

Ron now spends his time as a consulting horticulturist, writer, and lecturer. His gardening column, "Gardener's Checklist," appears weekly in the Berkshire Record, while "The Berkshire Garden Journal" appears in the Berkshire Eagle every Friday from late March through October.

Society meetings are free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served. If unfamiliar with Sheffield and its environs, Dewey Memorial Hall is the historic building located on the Green, immediately south of the post office.
