The third of the annual five-part Winter Horticulture Series, presented online in partnership with the Camden Public Library, is planned for 9:30 a.m. Tuesday, Feb. 8.
Dave Jackson and Amy Rollins who will present a Virtual Walk Through Camden.
Jackson and Rollins teamed up in 2012 to present Historic Walking Tours of Camden, originally created as a joint outreach program of the Camden Area Business Group and the Camden Public Library. The tours have been offered free of charge on Friday afternoons throughout the summer for 10 years, according to a news release from the library.
Jackson is the director of parks for the library, including Harbor Park, the grounds of the library and the Amphitheatre. He was instrumental in nominating the Amphitheatre and library as a National Historic Landmark, a process, which took six years to complete. The National Park Service awarded the designation in March 2013. During his tenure at the library, he has successfully applied for several grants through the National Trust for Historic Preservation, which allow the library to maintain its treasured landscape.
Rollins is the member services director for the Penobscot Bay Regional Chamber of Commerce. A Camden native and former Trustee of the library, she has a passion for researching and sharing Camden’s history. She has a particular interest in interviewing key figures who remember the Camden of her childhood and before her time.
The free horticultural talks will continue at 9:30 a.m. each Tuesday through Feb. 22 and are open to everyone.
The Zoom link to attend is available online at librarycamden.org with registration required for each event.
