BETHEL – Backyard Sundays is a program of Mahoosuc Land Trust that celebrates the endless possibilities of our backyards. Every Sunday at 1:00 during July and August, garden volunteers and staff will be at the Habitat for All Garden (162 North Road, Bethel) to answer your gardening questions and show you what is new in the garden. In addition, each week, a special topic will be showcased that you can do at home using space in your backyard.

Bring lunch and plan to spend the afternoon at Valentine Farm. In addition to the Backyard Sunday activities, there is a storybook walk, a self-guided birding trail, and a 1.2-mile accessible walking trail that meanders through forests and fields.
