Earth Day at McCue Garden Center

Come learn about how you can help alleviate food insecurity in your neighborhood while repotting and take home a tomato plant.

Be part of a network of gardeners who grow vegetables in your yard or help others grow in their yards. Then we'll collect and donate what we grow to the Council of Social Concern and the En Ka Food Pantry. If you can't garden you can still contribute by sharing some of your lawn to turn into a garden.

As part of the Griffin Terrace Series, Arts Winchester presents a summer beer garden with live music performed by Glenn Dickson and the Shirim Klezmer Orchestra.

Shirim has played concerts and festivals across the United States, Canada and Europe since 1982. Nationally recognized for their traditional playing, they are also known for their pioneering crossover projects: Klezmer Nutcracker, Maurice Sendak's Pincus, and The Golden Dreydl (with Ellen Kushner).  They have performed with the Philadelphia Pops Orchestra, at the Montreal Jazz Festival and at Lincoln Center!
