Gifted Greenhouse

Old Richmond Grange member, Eileen, has donated this wonderful little greenhouse to our community garden. Members gathered in her backyard for the dismantling, the transfer, and ultimately the re-installation next to our raised beds. Wondering what great seedlings we can start in this little hut!

Big Thanks to all the Grangers who helped make this happen: Andrea and Michael Kelly, William and Jeff Larrabee, and Eileen Tague.

2023 Black Walnut Festival Fun

Our 3rd Annual Old Richmond Grange booth at Bethania’s Black Walnut Festival in mid-September was once again a success, with many attendants enjoying a sunny afternoon, drawing with our own special black walnut ink made from walnuts found in the backyard. When finished, the drawings were hung in our special BWF Clothesline Gallery. We enjoyed the fellowship of old friends and new acquaintances, as well as shopped the many creative booths of the festival.

Thanks to all the Old Richmond Grange volunteers for contributing your time and talents!

A Yard Sale Treat

Marge making corn sticks with freshly picked jalapeno slices.

Our Yard Sale last month was a success! We emptied our closets, found new homes for lots of useful things, made a little money, and a few new friends along the way.

For snacks, we baked cornbread sticks with slices of jalapeno, fresh from our new Grange garden.
