This Saturday at 1 pm there will be an urban gardening workshop with Marlene Sehen at the Main Street Library. Click here for more info.

You’ll learn how container gardening can enhance your environment and your table, without breaking your budget. You do need to sign up for the workshop in advance, so call your branch to register.

Some of my neighbors put out their recycling out on the sidewalk last Wednesday, but in fact, recycling gets collected every other Wednesday, and tomorrow is considered a ‘Red Wednesday’ for collection. Please click here for more information.

The confusion is somewhat understandable, but when the recycling is left out, it collects non-recyclable trash and a lot of stuff blows all over the place with wind, so please do not leave recycling out on the sidewalk all week in the future.

There will probably be a lot of phone books in this week’s bins, since new ones were delivered in the last two weeks.
