Mark Kennedy joins FOHF board

Having had childhood jobs cleaning up after the cows and bringing in their hay on the award-winning Davis farm on North Granby Road, and weeding and harvesting vegetables at Hidden Acres on East Street, it is no surprise that when grown up and looking for places to volunteer, Mark Kennedy ended up at Holcomb Farm.

Japanese Barberry, Invasive of the Month
|
Japanese barberry was imported to the US in the late 1800s and widely planted in landscapes, often as hedges to prevent through-passage or in problem areas where other plants did not grow. Once established, it crowds out other plants, changing soil chemistry and inhibiting forest regeneration.
