However our onion, lettuce, spinach, beans, kale and herb plants are still growing well. Luckily we have plenty of donated seedlings and will replace those seedlings ruined by the late frost. Thank you Evening Song Farm.  These new plants will be a great addition to our garden.  This week the Chase Family installed fence posts and wire is going up tomorrow.  We still need to put chicken wire up.  Anyone good at that? The Campopiano Family planted more herbs and some beets donated by Alchemy Gardens.  We also planted raspberries shoots from Brigid Sullivan and started transplant shoots from other areas of the Community Garden into a hedge row. We also received a load of wood chips from GM Tree Tech.  Thank you Don Richardson for setting that up.    Thank you Bania family for mowing this week. We are still in need of the following:  Tomato Cages (approx. 12) Someone who has a tiller and can do an inground bed in front of the raised beds Trellis for peas and cucumbers  Flowering Annuals Volunteers who want to be responsible for watering one day each week  Email us if you can help with any of these items, especially the watering.  It's a big job, but will be easy if we get enough volunteers.  Let us know at:  mthollycommunitycares@gmail.com Thanks so much everyone!!! For Immediate Release June 7, 2020 Cavendish Historical Society 2nd Sunday Program: Revolutionary Cemetery In response to the Covid-19 Pandemic, the Cavendish Historical Society (CHS) is limiting Museum visits by appointment only, which can be arranged by calling 802-226-7807 or e-mailing margocaulfield@icloud.com In addition, CHS is sponsoring a series of 2nd Sunday Programs throughout the season. Note, those attending the programs, or visiting the Museum, will be required to wear a mask and practice physical distancing. In honor of Flag Day, on June 14, CHS will conduct a tour of the Old Revolutionary Cemetery in Cavendish. We will meet at 2 pm in front of the Museum, 1958 Main St (Rt. 131) in Cavendish and then car pool out to the Cemetery. A short hike is required to reach the cemetery. The Cemetery is the final resting place of many patriots, as well as one loyalist, the latter of whom had served in the French & Indian War. Cavendish Patriots ranged in age from 15 upwards and included women, as well as a former slave. Due to the proximity to the Crown Point Rd., there are a number of soldiers who died along the way and were buried here as well as in the Coffeen Cemetery. If time permits, a visit will be made to the Coffeen Cemetery.
