A temporary bridge over the drainage trench allowed trick-or-treaters to enter the garden from the street as originally intended.
Our pollinator garden is official! We applied to a UMaine and UNH Extension program to have our garden certified as “pollinator-friendly.” We met the criteria and received our official certificate this week. This program educates the gardening public about the importance of pollinators and helps spread the word about actions you can take to support healthy ecosystems in your community now and into the future.
In addition to our certification excitement, we were delighted to host our very first workshop at our office – nature journaling with Clare Walker Leslie – and welcome so many trick-or-treaters in such a fun assortment of imaginative costumes.
