April Showers...FINALLY!

Boy are we glad to get some rain. we’re also very pleased to offer a hands-on workshop “Making Rain Barrels with Jesse Watson, Midcoast Permaculture.” With a dry hot summer in the forecast conserving water in rain barrels should go a long way toward protecting the gardens, flowers and farmette surrounding the motel. Why not protect your plants, too?

Rain barrels retail for over a $100 each putting them out of reach for me. But Jesse Watson will walk us through assembling barrels using recycled materials and parts at a fraction of the retail cost.
winter barn...just wait to you see the spring greenery!
The workshop will be held in our beautiful new red barn on Saturday May 5 from 9am – 1pm in honor of International Permaculture Day. Register early, we’re only offering 8 spots. The $20 fee includes a vegan lunch.
