The gardens are now just shy of that bursting point. We’ve had some rain. We’ve had some warm sunny days. The plants are responding and putting forth all their best efforts. Isn’t it amazing? Isn’t it just the most delightful thing in the world (O.K., certainly one of the most delightful!).
A customer came by yesterday, wandered through the gardens, explored the nursery and said: “My, you must really enjoy that first cup of coffee in the morning while strolling these gardens”.You bet we do! Bliss.
This week during a bit of downtime ( Mondays and Tuesdays) I’ll be posting some more of the classes we are offering. A wet felting class, as well as a class on wool dyeing, an herbal cocktail and mocktail making class, more hypertufa building, and a class on creating interesting vessels with succulents. Rick will offer another fern identification class and a late summer class on dividing shade and woodland plants. Stay tuned!
Hope you are enjoying all that brings you joy and delight during these precious summer months!

Fernwood Nursery & Gardens 
Love this season!
Me too!!! Oh, these summer days!
Finally! Yah!
yes, finally. A long wait for sure!
I’m on the edge of my seat waiting. Dennis and I are talking about a trip to ME so if I can coordinate it with a class that is perfect, and I’ll let the other two ME bloggers know so maybe we can have a chance to chat.
Yipee!!!!
Oh, beautiful! I bet you do love that early morning coffee. 😉
Hi Sarah! great meeting you ( and boots). Sorry i was so busy with nursery activity that we couldn’t sit and ‘spin’ a bit or at least check out the fiber in the studio. i sure hope we can another time!!!
I knew you would likely be busy, but it was such a perfect day we had to try it!
We would like to come Sunday, if that is OK? Boots will bring some arty thing to work on, and I will bring the endless sweater if it is still on the needles. I will call you this week to confirm it is OK.
You bet…Love to have you both!!! See you then!
Thanks! We are looking forward to it!
I was away last week for a workshop in Massachusetts (flax to linen–it was wonderful). When we were done, others were bemoaning the fact that they had to leave and I was saying, “I can’t wait to get home–everything is blooming now and I’m missing it!!!!”
Were you at Vavstuga?? Can’t wait to hear more–you’ll be blogging about it, right?
No, I’m still on the waiting list for Vavstuga and running out of time for this year’s Basics class. I was at (the amazing) Cassie Dickson’s Flax to Linen workshop at Snow Farm. I will–eventually?!?–do a blog post about it!
Oh, shoot. That’s too bad about Vavstuga but the workshop you did get to sounds right up your alley!
hi Brenda,
So happy that you made the trek over to Montville! Thank you! i need to give you a call, can you shoot me your phone number or call when you can here….589-4726. Talk soon, Denise
Thanks so much for hosting such a lovely gathering. I will email you my phone number.
Please do!
I am looking forward to stopping in on our trip up the coast to Nova Scotia and hoping it might coincide with a dividing workshop. I need more confidence when dividing certain woodlanders.
Oh, wow–your photos make me drool! Just beautiful, and your workshops sound so inviting. I wish I lived closer to you!
