Saturday, September 21, Old Richmond Grange members will be hosting our annual booth at Bethania’s Black Walnut Festival. Come try out this season’s freshest black walnut ink and hang your drawing in our little clothesline show!
The Festival runs from 10 am until 4pm, with dozens of vendors, live music, food and activities.
With some of our raised beds starting to produce, now is a good time to be looking for recipes for all these fresh vegetables. What can you make with turnips, sugar snap peas, baby kale and cilantro?
Any recipe ideas, please share in the comments section. We can try it out and post the outcome. If your garden is producing, let us know how it’s going!
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.
Heading into the new year, looking forward to spring and summer gardening, and lectures on gardens, farming and neighborhood topics.
Meetings, last Monday of the Month.
Last year’s sprouts.

Free!!
Popcorn! Sodas! Concessions available for a small price.
Doors Open at 6:45. Rated PG. Run time 105 minutes.
All are welcome.
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!
