More than three decades ago, long before the term organic entered the popular lexicon, The Garlic Farm opened in West Granby. Over the years it transformed from a small weekend farm stand to a full-time operation offering dozens of vegetables as well as a community share program.
I recently moved to a town with many more farms than we’ve ever lived near before. I’m used to shopping in the grocery store and usually look for organic when I can afford it. Now I’ll be looking for farmer’s markets or farm stores to shop in during the growing season, but I’m nervous. How do I go about finding these places? Will they have all the stuff I need?
Last month we explained why it is important to select a range of native flowers that have pollen and nectar available from late March until November. The April issue had suggestions for early and mid-spring. This issue continues with ideas through autumn.
Ah, May—the month of renewal. The spring season advances and every new dawn feels like a re-awakening of life. Wildflowers are part of the rhythm of the seasons, each species with its own bloom time.
Despite the damage from fallen trees, the March snowstorms brought a quiet beauty to Mcleans.
On Earth Day Weekend , April 21-23, the Granby Land Trust (GLT) will again take part in the Great Global Cleanup®, a worldwide campaign to remove billions of pieces of trash from neighborhoods, beaches, rivers, lakes, trails and parks — reducing waste and plastic pollution, improving habitats, and preventing harm to wildlife and humans.
Invasives are the opposite of rare. A third of all the vegetation in the northeast hails from Asia, according to native plant scientist Dr. Doug Tallamy.
