Sitting in the quiet, spacious old barn at Meetinghouse Farm, looking out at grassy slopes, garden sunshine and a greenhouse filled with growing plants, it’s easy to forget we’ve just been through a year of dislocation and uncertainty.
This feeling of being in another, more pleasant universe persists during a relaxed conversation with Judy Desrochers, president of Meetinghouse Farm, as various and sundry volunteers and gardeners stop in to say “hello” on the way to their work destinations on this lovely spring day.
Programs and activities at the farm are once again resuming after the “time-out” of a pandemic year, with the farm’s big fundraiser plant sale scheduled for May 15, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Desrochers called the event a “Garden Potpourri,” because of the variety of items that will be available that day.
