Mini-gardens for adults

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

Mini Garden Program
Wednesday July 23, 2014

Due to the interest by many for the teen “Create a Mini Garden” program,
the program is now open to adults. Supplies will be provided and light
refreshments served. Come create a miniature world using flowers, plants,
and novelty accessories.

Register by calling the library at 781-826-2972, emailing Reference
Librarian Donald at dcolon@ocln.org or by stopping by the Reference Desk.

Don’t know what a mini-garden is or what one looks like? Check out the
“Around Town on the Web” archives! As my friend Beth says, it’s like
having an electronic file cabinet for all of Hanover! The link to the
archives appears at the bottom of every e-blast.

Children’s program – What to plant in July

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

Connecting the Vines: What to plant in July Sponsored by Eastern Bank and
the Hanover Historical Society Education Fund
Children’s Hearth and Home Program
Historic Food ways at the Hanover Historical Society
July 30th 2:00 – 4:00 p.m.

This program sets children off on an adventure of historical gardening. An
educator from the South Shore Science Center will take children on a nature
walk through the museum’s herb garden and show what herbs were used in the
mid- 19th Century and how we can use them today.

Children will use their sense of smell and touch in creating their own
flowerpot gardens they can take home. Traditional dress up clothes, games,
and a play about gardening will also be provided for families to enjoy at
their leisure. Children will learn what seeds to plant in July, when they
will bloom, and what type of fruit or herb they will bear.

Programs are free, but registration is required, and limited to 30 children
per session. To register for a session please e-mail
Hanoverhistoricalsociety@gmail.com or call 781-826-9575.

B. Everett Hall Playground is a closed campus

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

The Town of Hanover Parks and Recreation day program started June 30th!

Every weekday, drop off starts at 8:30 a.m. and pick-up is at 2:30 p.m. at
the B. Everett Hall Playground Complex in the center of town near Sylvester
School. Traffic is always tied up the first couple of days, but it does
smooth out as the summer goes along. If you are able to take an alternate
route during those times, however, it might be to your advantage!

More important, however, is the fact that the B. Everett Hall Playground
Complex is a “CLOSED CAMPUS” during camp hours (Monday – Friday, 8:30
a.m. – 2:30 p.m.). The playground (including the tot lot), tennis court,
basketball courts, street hockey rink, volleyball area, bandstand, fields,
etc. are all not available for use by the general public during those
times. The Parks and Recreation Department has been charged with the safety
of literally hundreds of Hanover’s children enrolled in the Park and Rec
program, and nothing is more important!

The Parks and Recreation Committee recognizes that this will result in some
schedule juggling for townspeople for the 7 weeks (June 30th – August 15th)
that camp runs, and appreciates the understanding of everyone involved. For
more information or in case you have further questions, please contact
Hanover Parks and Recreation at recreation@hanoverdpw.org .
