Clinical Herbalist Pat Harpell will lead a workshop at the Rockport Public Library, teaching participants how to create their own personal care products. This free class, on Wednesday, April 1, at 1 p.m., is part of the Library’s “Let’s Feel Better in 2026” series. Harpell emphasizes that personal care products are simple to make and free from the chemicals found in most store-bought products. During the workshop, participants will learn to make an all-natural lotion and facial cleanser using ingredients that are safe enough to consume. Attendees will take home their creations and receive instructions for making lip balm, shampoo, hair rinse, and more. Harpell’s interest in skin care products originated from her research as a clinical herbalist. She encountered persistent, chronic conditions that resisted treatment from both modern and alternative medicine. This experience led her to advocate that the ingredients applied to the skin are just as important to consider as those put into the body. Harpell encourages participants to embrace this knowledge and host personal care product-making parties at home. The 90-min. program has a limited capacity of 16 participants. Interested individuals can register by calling the Rockport Library at 207-236-3642. |

Birds, bats, bees, butterflies, beetles, and other small mammals are integral pollinators whose natural activities sustain our ecosystems. However, many people fill their gardens with over-hybridized plant varieties that have been bred for their ornamental value. Double blooms, exotic species, and other engineered qualities — while pretty — create plants that are difficult for all pollinators and can be detrimental to local habitats when cultivated in large numbers (like pollenless sunflowers). Maine Master Gardener Volunteer John Fromer will discuss varieties of flowering plants that are both beautiful and valuable to our local pollinators, give examples of non-pollinator friendly flowers, and provide tips for growing these in the Midcoast region. This talk is part of the Rockport Library’s Spring Horticulture Series in partnership with Merryspring Nature Center. CLICK THE LOGO BELOW to learn more about Merryspring Nature Center. SAVE THE DATES FOR MORE EVENTS IN THIS SERIES: Wednesday, May 13, from 1 to 2 PM, at Rockport Library:Merryspring Mapped – Know as you go!
