The Peconic Land Trust's popular Bridge Gardens Conversation Series is moving to an online platform. "Long Island Grown Talk With Food and Beverage Artisans" will be offered on Thursday from 6 to 7 p.m. on Zoom with Laura Donnelly, The Star's food writer, as moderator.

Guests on Thursday will be Layton Guenther from Quail Hill Farm, which is a property of the Peconic Land Trust; Greg Kessler from the Hoppy Acre and Springs Fireplace Hotsauce; Ira Haspel from KK’s the Farm, and Charity Joy Robinson, creator of the Kombat-Cha brand of kombucha.

Registration ahead of time is required. More information, including a registration link, is online here.

On Friday, the Peconic Land Trust will post a build-a-birdhouse workshop video by Brian Kennedy of Fixhampton. The video will also cover ways to attract songbirds to your yard. There are pre-cut kits available for sale for $10 each, plus tax. More information is online here.
