It finally feels like Spring! My daughters and I have been busy starting our garden seeds after attending Spring Fest at Meadowbrook Gardens. While Spring is bringing us showers, check out all the events happening to celebrate this time of year. Don’t want to miss a single Spring thing? Go on an adventure to Wicked Tulips in Preston, CT for Tulip picking open for the season this week only! Tickets here

It is about to be summer before we know it and summer camps are filling up fast! Check out the Complete Summer Camp List for 2023. I am updating this as more are released.
