The Rockport Garden Club will holds its monthly meeting May 1 with Kurt Snyder, owner of Stonescape, Inc., as guest speaker. The program begins at 1 p.m. and will highlight landscaping with stone.

That topic will include learning where stones are sourced in Maine, why different stones are selected for various purposes and locations; e.g., dry and wet stone walls, seating, patios, walkways and other designs.

For more than 25 years, Stonescape has exemplified exceptional quality in stone masonry, landscaping and design. The company's passion is creating exceptionally crafted work using beautiful natural stone. Stonescape dedicates itself to meeting the needs and challenges of clients and projects using the latest technology in combination with age-old methods to transform raw materials into masterpieces of the mason's art.

"We are craftsmen with the knowledge and creative vision necessary to turn your landscape into one that far exceeds your expectations," said Snyder, in the Garden Club's press release. "Having our own quarry and fabrication shop allows us quick access to natural stones and precise fabrication, saving our customers time and money on their projects."

The Garden Club meeting will be held at the West Rockport Baptist Church at 545 Park Street, West Rockport. The public is cordially invited and the building is handicap-accessible.

The entrance is from the parking lot at the end of the building. Out of courtesy, please do not call the church for information. Email info@rockportgardenclubmaine.org.
