Get on the map for the Millbrook Community Spring Sale in April

MILLBROOK — The third annual — and quite popular — Community Spring Sale is accepting sign-ups to participate in the event scheduled for Saturday, April 28. Suggested hours are 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Residents who have items they wish to sell are invited to set up on their lawns on that day for a village-wide community tag sale. There are no rules for this self-organizing event. If they wish, participants can even begin earlier on that day or stay open later.

There are no fees to participate. One advantage to the event is that goods are reused, recycled and sent on their way to new homes. The further advantage rests in joining in a spirit of community, visiting with your shoppers and just having neighborly fun doing it.

Residents desiring to participate can get their yard sale listed on the Google map that will be distributed widely to let visitors and shoppers know the locations. Residents should send an email to millbrookspringsale@gmail.com, providing name and location to be listed.

Anyone wishing to provide a donation to help with printing costs or willing to post flyers to get the word out should email the organizers at the same email address.

After moving to West Cornwall in 2012, we were given a thoughtful housewarming gift: the 1997 edition of “Dirr’s Hardy Trees and Shrubs.” We were told the encyclopedic volume was the definitive gardener’s reference guide — a fact I already knew, having purchased one several months earlier at the recommendation of a gardener I admire.

At the time, we were in the thick of winter invasive removal, and I enjoyed reading and dreaming about the trees and shrubs I could plant to fill in the bare spots where the bittersweet, barberry, multiflora rose and other invasive plants had been.Years later, I purchased the 2011 edition, updated and inclusive of plants for warm climates.
