Friday, June 18, 9:30 am – 12:00 noon – Summer Solstice Celebration

by

Summer arrives with the summer solstice, which marks the longest day of the year and the day when the midday sun reaches its highest point in the sky. The summer solstice occurs this year on Sunday, June 20, but Wright-Locke Farm in Winchester will celebrate on the 18th with a nature walk through the farm and forest to enjoy the beauty of the natural world.  The walk will focus on plant identification, plus fun and interesting natural history about past and present human uses as well as tales and legends about the plants we see. We’ll also celebrate the season with a little poetry and solstice lore. 
Cost: $30 per person. Register HERE.
