The public is invited to hear author Sydney Eddison at an open meeting of the Durham Garden Club on Thursday, June 9, at 10 a.m. at the Durham Public Library, 7 Maple Ave.

Eddison will present a talk on “Change: The Passage of Time in the Garden.” She will also have on hand her latest book, “Gardening for a Lifetime: How to Garden Wiser as You Grow Older.”

A nationally recognized gardener, author of seven books and a popular lecturer, Eddison will share her joy, enthusiasm and experience as a life-long gardener.

“Gardening for a Lifetime” is a memoir about having to scale back after widowhood and painful joints made it impossible to keep up with a large country garden. Intermixing personal experience with practical gardening tips, Eddison presents a road map for accepting and embracing a new and simpler way of gardening.

Refreshments will be served. The suggested donation is $5.
