With this year’s garden plans, go local! Gardening Guy Henry Homeyer offers his recommendations for native plants that will add beauty to your garden and also offer benefits to local and visiting birds, pollinators and other wildlife, such as the butterfly in Henry’s photo above and on the cover.
Also on the coveR Saturday is Free Comic Book Day! Michael Witthaus gets the details on how area comic book stores are celebrating (page 12). We have team coverage of Concord’s new season of First Friday events, which offer food, entertainment and shopping in the downtown on the first Fridays of most months through November. Michael looks at the music on page 22 and John Fladd takes a look at the food truck plan on page 16. And if this week’s cover story has you inspired to tackle your outdoors, John also gets the details on this weekend’s New Hampshire Farm, Forest & Garden Expo (page 15).
