Some neat things happening over at the KWRC coming up!

We have a lot going on at the KWRC this season, and many opportunities for you to join in the fun! If you're free this Friday, help with some weeding & planting at our Hampton pollinator garden. What about Monday evening? Bring your boots and binocs for some bird watching! Interested in connecting with our rivers through angling? We've got a workshop for you!

And lots more to come in July, including our Ripples & Roots Nature Camp for high school students! Please find more details on our Facebook event page 😊

I should know better by now. I thought the stone weights on the bottom shelf and it staying standing during the last rain/wind event would mean we got it figured out... I did not in fact... Have anything figured out. Every spring I get a little bit closer to building an actual greenhouse structure.

Attended a FAB workshop a couple of weeks ago put on by and took home a variety of flower seeds, and learned some tips and tricks... Do I have some cosmos that I let get a bit leggy? Absolutely... These zinnias I got under lights at the right time though!
