Thanks to all who helped take down the garden fences and get the gardens ready for winter. It was a cold morning, but we had lots of help.
Garden Clean-up
Oct. 24 Fall Work Morning
Please mark your calendars for the annual Fall work morning set for 9:30 am on Saturday, October 24th. We will take down the fences, roll up the hoses and put the gardens to bed. Rain date is the same time on Sunday, 10/25. Please bring your work gloves and your 2016 garden payment ($40/full plot, $20/half.) Also, remember that as you prepare your garden for the winter season, please put the organic waste and debris in the upper garden compost pile.

Horseback by the Garden
Today the garden had a visitor on horseback. Our guest was exploring Hanover and the Girl Brook Trail and happened to come up around the garden.
Hot Air Balloon in Garden
A hot air balloon almost landed in the garden this evening. Some fast work by the pilot took it go ground just outside of the lower garden. People passing by helped the team anchor the basket, and deflate and pack up the balloon.
