On Thursday, January 21 at 7pm, Julie McIntosh Shapiro, a photographer and curatorial assistant at Harvard University, will kick off the Andover Seed Library and help you discover, explore and unearth the magic of seeds.The bract of the White Birch looks like a whippoorwill. The microscopic seed of the Redvein Enkianthus looks likes a partly eaten corncob. The seed of our lovely pastel-colored native Rhododendron, the Pinkshell Azalea, has seed so small that ten can fit on the head of a straight pin!  Julie’s knowledge and groundbreaking work at the Arnold Arboretum on the visual identification of seed illustrates and enlightens through the use of macrography, photography at extremely close range. Julie’s subjects are the stars of the show. Observe, study, and enjoy these sometimes overlooked but ubiquitous bundles of life. RSVP online or call 978-623-8401, x31. Sponsored by the Friends of MHL.
