Medomak House

In recognition of our summer solstice which happens overnight tonight, as well as Father's Day which is celebrated tomorrow, June 21, we will be planting two cherry trees in the COMMUNITY GARDEN between the driveways at the Medomak House. We will have a brief ritual to mark this passage from calendar spring to calendar summer, our longest time of daylight in the northern hemisphere and the beginning of the turn towards shorter days. If you would like to join us, we will be planting vegetables donated by Moose Crossing in the raised beds beginning at 9:30 and then planting the cherry trees about 11:30. Please come by 124 Friendship St. for any or all of this time tomorrow (before the expected afternoon rain).
(note our evolving garden space as the good dirt is delivered...)

Here's a bit of information about NO MOW MAY. Because of all our rain, lawns are growing pretty fast and it may be hard to get all the way through the month without mowing, but there are good reasons for holding off as long as we can....... the grass at the Medomak House is getting high, but it's at least partly intentional!

"This May, many communities are participating in the growing No Mow May movement, an initiative encouraging people to pause mowing and allow flowering plants to emerge naturally. By letting lawns grow a little longer, we can provide food and shelter for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators during a critical moment in their development."

It's international composting week! Who knew?

🌱 It’s International Compost Week 🌱

Composting is a simple way to care for your garden and the planet. By turning everyday kitchen and garden waste into compost, you create food for your plants, improve your soil and reduce what goes to landfill.

Making compost at home is easier than you might think, and it can be a calming and rewarding part of your gardening routine. Whether you have a big garden or a small space, composting helps things grow while supporting your wellbeing.

Happy composting 💚

It's EARTH DAY. It's a good day to think about gardens, even if it's pretty cold around here - maybe especially because it's pretty cold around here. At Medomak Exchange we're thinking about the Community Garden we're planning in the space between the driveways at the Medomak House. We have begun the clearing work which will continue over the next couple of weeks. If you would like to volunteer with the intended Common Garden or if you would like a small plot to plant for yourself/family, send an email to [email protected] and we'll give you more details.
