I recently took Rick Miller, reporter for the Olean Times Herald, on a walk through part of our Lillibridge Road property. He took many photos, and posted them as a slide show on YouTube. Check it out!

It’s the time of year where we just seem to have one bleary day after another. But there’s hope on the horizon as my daffodils have popped up ready to bolt with the first week of warm and sunny weather. So taking my cue from the daffodils, I went out and marked the trees at [...] Laura so appropriately suggested that I post a picture of our finished wreaths. Why didn’t I think of that?! So here’s a picture of wreaths being decorated as well as one of a finished beauty. There’s still a few days to order one for this year, but call or email me SOON — director(at)pfeiffernaturecenter(dot)com — [...] …like Christmas?! It’s only July, but many of us here at Pfeiffer Nature Center have been preparing for our annual holiday wreath sale for months already. Preparing how, you say?

Once called Queen of the Forest, 1 in every 4 trees in northeastern forests was an American Chestnut. Chestnuts were an important [...] I was surprised when touch turned out to be the most difficult sense for me to portray pictorially. I did my best, and I’ll love to see YOUR representations. This garden plant got its common name from both the look and feel of its soft, fuzzy leaves. Although it’s far from one of the favorite [...] Spring offers so many local delicacies, from wild food foraging to garden bounty. A BEAUTIFUL head of organic lettuce from my weekly share at Canticle Farm. If you’re not already a shareholder, consider it. The veggies are amazing! Our own Susan Avery recently got some laying hens. She’s enjoying their chicken-y antics, and has graciously [...] It’s a bit trickier to capture smell in a photograph. Some of these scents I’m sure you’ll know, others may not be as familiar. If you have a chance, let your nose wander by these olfactory lovelies at the right time of day. You’ll be glad you did. The blooms on this alien, which can [...] |
