| | | | | Quilt-Mapping Flood Recovery in VT
West Hartford Public Library – On Saturday, April 12th from 11-2 pm,
the Mapping for Resilience research team will host a community
quilt-mapping event for residents and people who work in the greater
White River Valley region at West Hartford Public Library. This event is
being held to invite folks to connect and share memories, emotions, and
stories around local flooding and recovery efforts. The event is hosted
by the Mapping for Resilience research team based at Dartmouth College
and Colorado School of Mines who have been studying the social,
ecological, and technical challenges of 2023 flooding.
While this is a free event, registering would be much appreciated, as we will provide some food and childcare for attendees. To do so, please use this registration form: tinyurl.com/quiltmailinglist or email Aletha.E.Spang@dartmouth.edu. If you are available and in the spur of the moment would like to just come without making a reservation, please do.
The event will be at West Hartford Public Library, 5133 VT-14, West
Hartford, VT. We will have lunch and childcare for folks who
participate. We will facilitate several activities to better understand
how communities organized around flooding and which locations were
important for recovery. We look forward to your stories and insight! Our
goal is to make this collaborative, supportive, and engaging for
everyone.
If you can't make it, but want to talk about sharing
stories about the flood, please reach out and let us know! We will have
take-home activities as well. You can also see more information about
the project and get our email addresses here: https://sites.dartmouth.edu/mappingforresilience/. For more information click here. | | |

Vermont Home Gardener April Gardening April showers bring May flowers (and muddy roads). Snow drops, crocuses, and winter aconite have been showing since the mid-March snow melt and daffodils are soon to blossom. We survived the late March ice storm and can now begin early spring preparations. This means gardeners have lots to do to get the season started. Even the bees are beginning to forage for pollen and nectar. Along with early pruning and seed starting there is the necessary clean-up and garden preparations. In this article we cover details of these renewing tasks and offer a couple thoughts about why we garden. Seed Starting Onion seeds were sown (indoors) in early March. Late March through mid-April is the best time to start peppers (sweet or hot), tomatoes, and cabbage. Broccoli, cauliflower and many annual flowers (zinnias, snapdragons, cosmos, marigold, etc.) seeds can be started in mid to late April. Johnny's Seeds has a very helpful seed starting calculator online that covers every vegetable and flower you might plant. You simply enter your spring frost free date (May 22 in Mount Holly) and the table tells you when to start the seeds and when to transplant them. Here is a good video about starting your own seeds. Join me at 2:00 PM on Sunday, April 6 in the Mt. Holly Community Center for a discussion about seed starting and more Best Spring Gardening Ideas.
