2015



We had a Special Event: The Dwellings

To 2014
To 2016
There were Hundreds of Dwellings, creations of students of Dover High and Oyster River Middle Schools working with their teachers, Francine Kontos, Shelley Quintin, and Joe Boucher. 

The exhibit took place at the May 16 & 17 Open House.
Some dwellings in the Rock Garden:

We planted tulips with the help of the Mastway Elementary students, who did an entire project on bulbs:

When done, and plants were added, it looked a little thin:

But then the tulips burst forth:

We did some work

Put a Patio under the Termi
Looked a little shabby,
and was a bit unstable,
so we dug it up and put crushed rock down,

piled loam around it, and...
nice patio, Bob!

End Notes:

Garrish Garden lived up to its name.

We had a raven family that we fed regularly, and they would come (maybe) when we called.

Tulips announce Spring.

Bob caught another 3.5 ft Northern Water Snake...and relocated it alive to the river.

We took some interesting photos.
