What a lovely weekend! This week is filled with a few rainstorms, but you know what they say—April showers bring May flowers.
In between the rain and sun, there is plenty of spring-y events to look forward to in the coming weeks. Outdoor farm markets are reopening for the season, restaurants are opening up their patios and outdoor dining areas, and there are so many new spring menu items to try. Hooray!

Grow your own garden. It’s almost that time of year, where gardeners pull up their gloves and tend to the fresh spring soil. This week’s program from the Bucks County Foodshed Alliance presents “100 Ways to Build a Garden,” a viewing and discussion of short films focussing on different methods for creating a garden. So all you green thumbs out there, head down to the Free Library of Northampton Township in Richboro, PA. This is a free event. For more information, call 215.621.8967.
