A wonderful monthly event at Bowdoin. We also have this gigantic Audubon which I sometimes show to classes. It used to be on display in a special case but, sadly, it is no longer on view.

Unless things turn around soon, this is looking to be a lousy year for the garden. Can't figure it out. We had around 5 feet of snow, then lots of spring rain, but everything looks dried out and wilting. True, it's been hot the last week but I don't recall it having such a bad effect before. ☹️
