I am so excited! We are just a few days away from the shopping event of the year.... the Sip & Shop at The Vineyard and Brewery at Hershey.
We have so many vendors and small buisness owners who have been working tirelessly to ensure that there is something for everyone! And don't forget about the wine tasting, open insight brewery, food, great music, and much more!
You are not going to want to miss out on this! Join us Saturday from 10-4!!!

Good morning. This is Kevin Kelly, and I am a Master Gardener who lives in the Linglestown area. Come join me for the last of 3 spring workshops at the Olewine Center at Wildwood Park at 9AM on Saturday. The topic is "How-To Add the WOW factor to Your Home Garden". The workshop is a joint venture between Penn State Extension and Dauphin Co Parks & Recreation.
One lucky participant will win a container garden we create at the workshop ($60 value).
I am going to discuss simple design techniques that will improve the look of your landscape. These are things you can easily do without needing professional help. I will also talk about simple design tips to create stunning containers (more than just throwing in a few annuals). I invite you to join me for what should be an enjoyable and informative 90 minutes. Register with the link below.
Hi. I am Kevin Kelly, a resident in the Linglestown area. I am a Master Gardener. I am running a Garden Workshop series at the Olewine Nature Center in Wildwood Park.
The next event is all about Soil Testing. You will learn about the importance of soil testing, how often and what time of year to do it, and most importantly, how to interpret the results.
Are you aware that many people lose plants because their soil pH is out of range and the plant can't absorb any fertilizer at all?
Are you aware that adding the wrong fertilizer is leading to run-off that is polluting our water supply and killing our fish?
Let me show you how easy it is. Not only is there a presentation and discussion of test interpretation, but every participant will collect a soil sample on the grounds of Wildwood so you will be sure how to do it properly before you leave.
The workshop is this Thursday, June 3rd at 6pm

Ah, Ft. Hunter... Where I can watch a majestic Bald Eagle rise out of filthy plastic and styrofoam infested flood debris that's been sitting there for months... and no one has done a thing about it.
Picked up a bunch on my own yesterday and left it by the bins for whoever gets paid to care for the grounds and should have done it a long time ago. You're welcome. I'll be back for more. This is absolutely ridiculous though.
If anyone would like to join me in picking up trash before everything leafs out along the shore, get in touch asap!
Can anyone tell me why a few trees in Detweiler Park in Dauphin had scrubbers nailed to the tree?
Come out and support our local small business owners who have been impacted so heavily this year - and don't forget to buy a little something for yourself too!!!

This little Dalmation Puppy Lovey lost their best friend. They were sad sitting on Towpath, so they walked with me to the lot closest to HACC. They are waiting and miss their friend.

it's 100+ degrees out here in Tucson so I'm inside in the air conditioning reviewing photos I've taken over the years and I came upon this one which I took on one of my periodic visits to Fort Hunter before we moved southwest...I won't mention exactly where this is on the property so maybe it will lure visitors to explore...
I love Wildwood Park. However, I would like to express a concern that I have. I walked on Tuesday morning and discovered at least 90% of people on the towpath trail did not have a mask on. Now, I understand that most people feel they can maintain 6 feet distances. Unfortunately, that is not always true, especially when people are walking side-by-side. I find it to be very self-centered and it is disheartening to me. Perhaps the walking paths should be closed altogether.
I need some help ID'ing this bird - the closest that I could find is the Bonaparte Gull - but I am not sure that is correct. Seen two days ago on Wildwood Lake - at the end of the North Boardwalk
Wildwood is a photographers bounty! From Northern Flickers, Egrets, Tree Swallows, Robins and Turtle's and so much more!
