GREENS GATHERING



Every year a few "outdoorsy" types gather in Reni Henderson Preserve for "tipping." As has been for the last few years, snow has covered the trails, however, this year the weather was beautiful!
Marcia M and her husband Tom built a fire in the clearing and had hot cider for all who had ventured into the woods to collect the greens. Along with the hot cider, there were abundant amounts cookies.

Centerpiece Making




Christmas centerpiece making has been a long-held tradition for the Castine Garden Club members to organize for the Adams School 7th and 8th graders. Jane W brings the items needed to put together the centerpieces and the CGC members gather the greens needed, bake cookies and assist in the centerpiece-making process.
With some instruction, the students get right to work and create some amazing results!
