Forbes Hall Volunteers Update
Monday, April 27, 2020 at 10:33AM Hello
What a great start to the assistance by volunteers on the Forbes Hall Project!
The volunteers kept Chad Kerr on his toes keeping them all busy.
As volunteer coordinator I've been asked to keep track of volunteers & their donated hours & then send a weekly report to Chad Kerr of Poirier Custom Homes. A big applause and thank you’s to all those who have taken the time to help out at Forbes Hall. The volunteers have accumulated a whopping 50 hours from Friday 17th to Friday 24th.
This coming week there aren’t any jobs for volunteers, as the site ramps up getting ready for a large concrete pour later in the week.
Please note: the Staining Project is still being organized, and will start to happen soon. We’ll be in touch.
Thanks for everything!

Jollity Farm Plant Shop News - Week of April 26 to May 2
Sunday, April 26, 2020 at 10:52PM Thank you everyone for adjusting to the new plant ordering system and being respectful of physical distancing at the farm. We are glad you can join us and visit with each other even if it's a little further away. As we are unable to mix and match flats in quite the same way as years past, we are trying to order full flats as much as possible. You can still make requests for smaller numbers and 1/2 flats, and we'll do our best to group orders together.
We appreciate your interest in garden soil. Pricing info and delivery dates are coming soon!
Impatiens will not be available again this season as there has been a massive crop failure due to downy mildew which a few growers are challenged with this year.
Tomatoes are coming soon!
You know it's the right time to plant tomatoes & other heat loving vegetables when the last snow is gone from Mt. Sicker (so we are still a week or two away). Our greenhouse is full of hundreds of beautiful tomato plants, so stay tuned for this year's list.
Here is a selection of what's available this week. The sooner our order is in, the more chance we have of getting a good selection. Larger 1 & 5 gallon perennial plants plus trees & shrubs are available by request. You ask and we'll seek. If possible, please submit your orders by midday Monday.
