Unlike the big brown bear that passed through the Attleboro area earlier this year, these “bears,” are harmless, actually rolling up and playing dead when you pick them up. “Woolly Bears,” the common name for these most commonly recognized caterp...

O.K., so many of the summer blooms have started to fade, but this whacky weather has actually led to some more brillant blooms on plants of mine that are typically ready to rest for the season. Take the butterfly bushes. Normally by this time, the...

I have heard rumors that if you plant a stem of the hydrangea in the Fall in will sprout as a new plant in the Spring. I have never done this but I hear it works. I also hear that you can also manipulate the color of the flower by putting sulfur(match head) near the roots.

Hi Sue, can you tell me how much work a hydrangea plant would be to maintain? I love them and would like to plant one or two in my backyard.

Natural Decorations can be Bittersweet

Sure, those berries and other decorations of nature can be used during the holidays to spruce up the house, but beware of using invasive plants to deck the outside halls.
MassWildlife is advising people to avoid using certain exotic invasive plants such as Oriental bittersweet (Celastrus orbiculatus) and multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora) in holiday decorations.
While they are attractive, birds eat and carry away the fruits from wreaths and garlands and the digested but still-viable seeds sprout… Continue

Beaver Moon

While it's turn-back-the-clock-time on Sunday, Nov. 1, meaning it will be depressingly dark earlier in the evening by the start of the work week, the light will be bright at night from the Beaver Moon on Monday, Nov. 2, according to Massachusetts Audubon Society's calendar.
The full moon for November gets its name, simply enough, from the time of year when Native Americans would set beaver traps before the swamps froze to ensure a supply of warm winter furs, according to the Old Farmer's Almanac… Continue

Climate "Ring Out"

This word just in. The Attleboro Climate Action event scheduled for Saturday will go on, but at a different venue because of the forecast.
The rally will be held at Brennan Middle School in Attleboro instead of the Balfour Riverwalk, said organizer Charlie Adler.
More than four thousand similar events will be held in public places around the globe, where people will gather to share concerns about the dangers of climate change and to call on their elected leaders to act decisively to reduce the a… Continue

Eating Alaska

So, an ex-urban vegetarian moves to Alaska, marries a fisherman who is also a hunter and begins to wonder what is the “right” thing to eat.
Find out what happens by attending “Eating Alaska,” the latest Green Reel Harvest film to be shown at 7 p.m. on Nov. 8, at Agudas Achim on North Main Street in Attleboro.
The film about ethical eating is both a serious and humorous account about connecting to where you live, and eating locally, according to the write-up submitted by organizers of the viewing… Continue

Tree Huggers


Big Hug.
That’s what folks gathering at the Morton Arboretum in Illinois will be doing when they gather on Oct. 17, but it will be of the leafy kind.
The arboretum — an internationally recognized 1,700-acre outdoor museum with collections of 4,117 kinds of trees, shrubs, and other plants from around the world — ha… Continue
