What's Happening in the Garden Now?

Picture
Spooky Walk: October 26-31 during library hours. Halloween may look a little different this year, but you can still have some fun. Come explore the library outside and discover some of the ghostly and ghastly creatures who have moved into our gardens and woods. Can you escape them all? Make it even more fun by visiting in the evening when the sun has gone down and darkness reigns (remember coming at night is at your own risk)

FeederWatch: The feeders will be up all winter, so there will be life in the garden even as the plants settle in for their winter's rest. We've re-installed 5 feeders: a seed feeder, 2 thistle feeders, a suet feeder and a platform feeder. While the chairs may be gone inside, that doesn't mean when you visit you won't get to see our feathered and furry friends. From squirrels and chipmunks, to sparrows, woodpeckers and cardinals, the gardens will have plenty of life to watch and explore.

Exploration and Discovery

  • Nature Explorers - library's environmental literacy program
  • Growing a Reader - story time for kids ages 3-5, with an emphasis on nature exploration
  • Birding with FeederWatch - the library is a registered participant in Cornell University's citizen scientist program of watching birds at winter feeders.​
  • Pollinator Garden - explore the world of plants and insects.
