Least Wanted Plants of the Upper Valley
The Hanover Garden Club has printed this brochure about invasive plants in the Upper Valley. They also have an informative web site with other resources.
The People’s Garden
“Growing Healthy Food, People and Communities”
The USDA has created a “People’s Garden” at their headquarters on the National Mall in Washington. This is a sustainable landscape with an organic garden, a kitchen garden, rain gardens, a bat house, a “Three Sisters” garden, and more. They have a spot for a farmer’s market, too. Good job, USDA!

Webworm
For those who may have noticed the webbed nests in the trees on the edge of Girl Brook, they are not tent caterpillars. They are in fact “fall webworm”. Because they develop in the fall after the foliage has already developed, they don’t really do much damage to the tree. So no cause for concern….
Localvore Garden Visit
The Upper Valley Localvore group visited our gardens on Sunday, August 30th. They sent along these pictures from their visit.
