As we approach our 3rd Annual Wine Tasting & Silent Auction and enter our 3rd year of operations, ESBR continues to be forever grateful towards local community members, businesses, and donors such as yourself who believe so much in our vision to provide authentic real time-real life learning. This support keeps the school open while we proceed with the processing of our Application for Vermont Approved Independent School status, which would finally allow tax dollars allocated for tuition in this area to be utilized by students who choose ESBR for their secondary education. And we are honored that the majority of our trailblazers call Ludlow, Mt. Holly, and Cavendish their home. Their families' patience with this process and belief in our mission is unwavering; and for all our learners we continue to fight for their utmost learning experience.
Hence, fundraisers such as our Annual Wine Tasting and Silent Auction (also our largest one!) help keep the doors of ESBR open for our learners during this time. Tickets may be purchased for the event in advance for $50, or $60 at the door the day of, here:
The online Silent Auction is currently open and will be available until noon on Friday, September 16, 2022, the day prior to the event at Jackson Gore's Roundhouse. If you cannot attend or are even just unsure if you are able to or not, you are still welcome to view and bid on items until it closes online. We will then have the items at the event and will announce final bids and winners at the end of the evening. And be sure to check in regularly in the meantime, as the site will be updated frequently as new items arrive!
Please join us, we hope to see you there. Any and all support is greatly appreciated. Again, the proceeds 100% support the school staying open for authentic learning by young minds!
Vermont Home Gardener September Garden Tips
Rain or shine, our gardens are now heading into the home stretch with tomatoes, beans, squash, and peppers leading the way! Dry weather has been tough on some veggies and flowers this summer, extra mulch and extra watering is required. Good news is that weeds grow slower and the lawn needs less mowing! Tomatoes and peppers are really sub-tropical plants and don't know that winter is coming so they are still trying to grow. We know better and there are several things we can do right now to get the most out of them. It's also a good time to get a soil test so you know what is needed for next year. Late summer pests & diseases are appearing too so let's be alert.
Late Season Tomato care. August & September conditions generally are good for a plant's growth, as well as some plant diseases. Plant diseases can't be cured, only prevented and managed. Disease prevention is the most effective strategy. Healthy plants can resist pests and diseases and healthy soil is the best way to have strong, healthy plants. Of course, healthy plants are more nutritious, so they contribute to our own good health too. Homemade compost supplemented with minerals like phosphate, calcium, and potassium, when indicated by a soil test (see below), are a great way to build healthy soil and reduce disease problems.
