SUMMARY:Outings Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Outings by Nick Amadeo. \n30% of the proceeds from this exhibit will benefit New Hampshire Audubon. \nDescription: It was here at the Massabesic Audubon Center–among the trees\, by the shore of the lake\, in the fields– I began learning how to draw and paint five years ago. The works in this exhibit were made primarily en plein air\, here and around New England\, and in all seasons. This exhibit is a culmination of a long apprenticeship in nature\, a tribute to this space\, and to all places that allow us to cultivate an appreciation and respect for the natural world. \nExamples of Nick Amadeo’s work.\nArtist’s Bio: Nicholas Amadeo is a self-taught artist from southern New Hampshire. Working in watercolor for its portability\, he focuses on the process of painting outdoors to study the individual’s encounter with nature in the tradition of plein air landscape painters. \n  \nArt exhibit viewing access may be restricted during private event rentals. Calling ahead to confirm is recommended.

SUMMARY:Garden Craft Event for Seniors: Cardmaking with Blooms
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we brighten our winter days in search of spring blooms with this creative card-making opportunity with beautiful pressed flowers! Drop by the NH Audubon’s Massabesic Center between 10am and 12pm on Wednesday February 4th to make several unique cards with pressed flowers collected and preserved from the Massabesic Center gardens and the home gardens of UNH Extension Master Gardener Volunteers. Plan on spending an hour (or two) with us to create 1-2 greeting cards perfect for any occasion and/or Valentine’s Day. Each card will take approximately 45-minutes\, and all supplies will be provided. \nThis in-person workshop will take place entirely indoors\, in the main conference room. Dress for the weather for the short\, easy walk from the dirt parking lot to the building. Workstations will be assigned in a group setting. Chairs are provided\, but some of the work may require standing\, and you may want to move around the room to select materials. Special accommodations for persons with limited mobility\, sensory concerns\, or other accessibility needs can be provided with advanced notice. \nThis FREE drop-in event is designed for seniors (age 65 and up)\, but all ages are welcome. \nActivities will be led by UNH Extension Advanced Master Gardener Doris Buco\, and UNH Ext Master Gardener Stephanie Hanson\, both dedicated volunteers for NH Audubon. \nAn RSVP is required by Feb 2nd to help ensure adequate supplies. Walk-ins will be accepted if space allows. (Limit: 20 attendees.) \nInclement weather date: Thursday\, February 5th\, 2026. Confirmation of program date and time will be sent to all registrants on Feb 3rd. \nThis program is made possible thanks to grant funding from the NH Master Gardeners Alumni Association (NHMGAA).

SUMMARY:Winter Sowing of Native Plants
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, Jan 10\, 2026\, 10am-11:30am \nWinter is a great time to sow native seeds. Many native seeds need to be exposed to prolonged cold and moist conditions to break their dormancy and germinate. Join us as we introduce you to native plants and guide you through this hands-on\, 6-step process. You’ll leave with a pot of native perennial seeds that will grow all year and be ready to plant in your garden next fall. \nPresenters:\nDonna Miller\, UNH Extension Advanced Master Gardener\nStacey Scaccia\, UNH Extension Master Gardener \nCost:\n$10 for NH Audubon members and UNH Ext. Master Gardeners\n$15 for non-members \nRegistration required by January 9th. If you miss the registration deadline\, please email Kimmie Whiteman to inquire about availability. Walk-ins will be accepted if space allows\, but late registrants may miss pre-workshop or cancellation communications. \nPresentation will take place indoors. Outdoor portion will be weather dependent – dress for a short walk on grassy uneven terrain. \nFor reasonable accommodation requests\, please contact Massabesic Center Director\, Kimmie Whiteman\, at kwhiteman@nhaudubon.org. \nThis program is brought to you through an on-going partnership between New Hampshire Audubon and University of New Hampshire Extension’s Master Gardener Program.

SUMMARY:Massabesic Gardens Tour
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an intimate guided tour of the gardens at the Massabesic Center in Auburn. We will lead you on a fun ramble of the grounds\, and dig into the history\, upkeep\, and future of each of our unique garden spaces. \nYou’ll learn about NH Audubon’s partnership with the University of New Hampshire Extension’s Master Gardener Program to create Demonstration Gardens that provide a place for sharing best practices in eco-friendly home and community gardening\, for human health and well-being and wildlife habitat. These gardens include spaces for pollinators\, birds\, butterflies\, veggies\, rainwater\, and an ornamental space that serves as the backdrop for wedding ceremonies. \nYou’ll also learn about our community partnership with the Massabesic Garden Club and their efforts to rehabilitate the space lovingly called the Barn Garden. \nLast but not least\, discover our plan for expanding the Garden for the Senses\, and take a peaceful pause in the Cathy Small Memorial Garden. \nYou’ll leave with an appreciation for the hard work that goes into our spaces by the team of over 40 volunteers who maintain our grounds. We’ll provide information for upcoming educational workshops and ways you can get involved with volunteering in our gardens. \nDress for walking in short grass on flat but uneven terrain. Bring your camera\, sunscreen\, bug spray\, and questions about creating pollinator habitat at your home. \nThis event is free to attend. Please RSVP to help us get a headcount of how many people to expect. This event will be cancelled if severe inclement weather is forecasted. \nSupport our programs and join or renew your membership today! Not sure of your membership status?

SUMMARY:A Season in the Sun Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:A Season in the Sun: Photographs from the Massabesic Center’s Demonstration Garden by Walt Swist \nWalt Swist photos from the NH Audubon Massabesic Center’s Demonstration Gardens.\nTake a photographic journey with Walt Swist through the 2024 season in the NH Audubon Massabesic Center’s Demonstration Gardens! Experience the magical pollinator gardens in full bloom and the amazing bounty of the vegetable and herb gardens\, with side tours of the wedding garden\, the barn garden\, the bird-friendly gardens\, the memorial garden\, the rain garden\, the wildflower garden\, the garden for the senses\, and more. These gardens present opportunities for home and community gardeners to observe and learn best practices in a beautiful natural setting. \nAs an additional benefit\, we donate most of our fresh vegetables and herbs to the Families in Transition Food Pantry and Dining Services in Manchester. We also provide vegetables for our favorite Animal Ambassadors who reside at the Massabesic Center. In 2024 we harvested about 543 pounds of vegetables and herbs. \nSome of these photos are simple direct views of the harvest in the field\, with vegetables and herbs dutifully lining up to be weighed and counted. In other photos the vegetables\, herbs and flowers take center stage to tell their own unique stories\, often revealing whimsical individual personalities and sharing the secret joys of life of the garden. \nThis exhibit is a departure from our typical showroom gallery\, and will be displayed in our main hall\, which will be fully accessible during standard Massabesic Center hours Wednesdays to Saturdays from 11am to 5pm. \nBio: Walt is a volunteer with the UNH Extension Master Gardener program and a resident of Manchester\, New Hampshire. He is also a NH Audubon volunteer in the demonstration gardens at the Massabesic Center in Auburn\, where he helps grow and harvest produce in the vegetable and herb gardens. He enjoys photographing the diversity and beauty of the natural world enhanced with an occasional dash of whimsical storytelling.
