I first learned about Doyle Farm Nursery in Lower Chanceford Township while reading a Weekly Record piece on planting to attract birds and butterflies to your garden.

Owner Jacquelin Doyle, whose company specializes in mail-order service for native plants, said then: “Without your native plants, you don’t have the birds and butterflies. For example, the native dogwood berries when the birds are migrating, and they depend on that as a food source.”

Although their business is mainly mail-order, Doyle's offers garden talks geared to planting for butterflies, birds and wildlife, Jacquelin said.

One is coming up on July 28, as part of the summer open house and plant sale. Jacquelin will lead a hands-on workshop, "Planting a meadow with landscaping plugs," starting at 11 a.m. that day in the nursery's open field.

Hogmaw update

This discussion has given me some good starting points for my "should I eat the hogmaw" experiment!

A couple more Web sites of interest from the South Western School District area, which encompasses Manheim, West Manheim and Penn townships:

South Western School District
Penn Township municipal site
West Manheim Township municipal site
Manheim Township on Wikipedia

I couldn't find a Manheim Township municipal site. Any ideas?

I've always spent a lot of time in Warrington Township, mostly because it's home to my just-about-favorite-place-in-the-world, Pinchot Park. As an adult, I've found even more things to love about the area.
