I'm putting on my Master Gardener hat and teaching a workshop on Winter Seed Sowing of NATIVE PLANTS at the Gilmanton Year-Round Library this Saturday, Nov. 15 at 11 AM. If you've wondered how you can add native plants to your yard, and don't have a lot of money to spend, this is an economically feasible way to do it. You'll plant a pot of native seeds to take home and learn the technique to continue on your own. The library is located at 1385 NH Rt. 140. I hope to see some local peeps there!

We'll be at the Canterbury Farmers Market this Saturday, the 8th, from 10-1 at the Canterbury Elementary School. We are currently taking pre-orders for our Swedish Almond Cakes, both traditional and chocolate, and each comes as a large cake or personal size. We'll also have Shaker Squash Rolls, a yummy addition to your Thanksgiving meal. Both the cakes and rolls freeze well so you can buy now and have them when you need them. To pre-order please email me at [email protected] with food type and quantity. Do NOT leave your pre-order here in the comments. I may not see it. Thanks, and we look forward to seeing many of our community friends at the market. It's always a lively event!

I spent the day with the Maine/NH Pollinator Friendly Garden Certification Committee at Massabesic Audubon. We meet all year by zoom but come together each fall for an in-person meeting.

We had a great tour with Stacy Scaccia, one of the many dedicated volunteers who works on these gardens. They have a certified Pollinator Friendly Garden but native plants can be found in nearly every garden bed.

We saw monarchs, a gazillion bees, and many bird species! If you recognize plants in these photos as ones that grow in your yard, you can get your gardens certified as Pollinator Friendly too. Ask me how β˜ΊοΈπŸ¦‹πŸ

We are open for only 2 more weeks! Come enjoy these beautiful autumn days walking our Poet-Tree Tale Trails! One trail is catered to kids, another has longer poems for adults. Pause, read, reflect as you go along. We also have some fun poems for kids around the Pavilion and gardens.

Feel free to bring your binoculars to watch the birds, a nature journal, or your camera/phone to take pictures. Bring a snack to eat along the trail or enjoy the views at our meadow overlook. We have tables and chairs available as well.

Be sure to check in at the Farm Stand first. $7 a person, infants free. There are free passes at your library if you live in Canterbury, Loudon or Boscawen. Season Pass holders can also do the Tale Trail for free.
