Kate Osgood’s photography documents A Garden Story – The pollinator garden at the McLane Center, taking us through the life cycle of the garden, from buds to birds and all of the changes, and visitors, in between.
There will be an artists reception on April 11, from 4-6pm.
A volunteer at the McLane pollinator garden, Kate loves to document its beauty and changes through her photography. A lifelong lover of nature, she has shown this love through her work as a landscape architect and through her photography. She studied botany at UNH and landscape architecture at UCLA and is licensed in both CA and NH. Having a keen interest in using native plants in the built environment, volunteering at the pollinator garden is a perfect fit both to get away from the computer and to experience the life cycles of the plants first hand.
“I have long been an admirer of the pollinator garden program of the NH Audubon Society and hopefully this photography collection will inspire folks to explore this program and create a garden at their own homes.”

The arrival of local sweet corn in the summer is an event many look forward to. Why not grow your own for even more freshness and variety? This in-person workshop will explore selecting varieties, determining where and how to plant and maintain a healthy crop and how to address pests and problems. As a bonus, we’ll also discuss growing and processing “dry” corn for cornmeal, flour and popcorn.
The workshop will take place primarily indoors, rain or shine. Weather permitting we’ll have a hands-on planting opportunity in the gardens directly behind the center. Dress for a short walk over grassy, flat, but uneven terrain.

2023-06-22 17:00 - 18:30 | Massabesic Center, 26 Audubon Way, Auburn, NH, United States
Fresh tomatoes from the garden are the BEST, but growing them can present some challenges. In this workshop, we’ll explore some ways to overcome challenges of disease and pests and support the plants for better production. We’ll discuss and demonstrate different support methods: staking, caging, overhead trellising, and the “Florida Weave.” We’ll show how to prune tomatoes to control growth and improve disease prevention and more.
The workshop will take place primarily outdoors. Dress for the weather and prepare for a short walk over grassy, flat, but uneven terrain.
