From blooming meadows to city parks and backyard gardens, this inspiring film celebrates the magic of nature while showing families practical ways to make a difference.
Along the way, you’ll see the groundbreaking work of The Caterpillar Lab, entomologist David Wagner, and Doug Tallamy, co-founder of Homegrown National Park.

This screening will feature an introduction by the founder and executive director of The Caterpillar Lab, Sam Jaffe, as well as a question-and-answer session with him following the film.

There will be free popcorn at this screening, generously donated by Harbor Theater.

This event takes place at Harbor Theater, located at 185 Townsend Avenue, Boothbay, ME 04538.
