How cool is this ?? A piece of true Antioch history !!!

At last week’s meeting, the Village Board approved funding for the restoration of the waterwheel at the historic Hiram Buttrick Sawmill. The project will preserve the Sawmill’s historic character while strengthening the waterwheel’s structural integrity. Restoration work will include carefully rebuilding necessary components and replacing deteriorated brackets, bolts, and screws. These improvements will help preserve this unique piece of Antioch history for generations to come.

Deer, of course, have their preferred foods, but during lean times even “deer-proof” plants may end up on their salad bar.

Columbine can support a variety of wildlife. Not only are the flowers of columbine attractive to us humans, but they are also attractive to several different pollinators. The nectar is located deep in the spurs, so it is visited by pollinators with long tongues, like ruby-throated hummingbirds (columbine is often blooming as hummingbirds migrate north in the spring), bumble bees, and hawk moths.
You can purchase this beautiful variety at the Plant Sale this weekend!
