To celebrate the 250th birthday of the United States of America, the Florence Griswold Museum in Old Lyme, CT, one of our River Partners, is hosting "Patchwork: Connecticut Artists Consider 250 , a juried exhibition of contemporary art, on view through November 8, 2026. The museum highlights its legacy as home to the Lyme Art Colony (1900–1937) by inviting today’s Connecticut-based artists to submit work that addresses themes of American identity and history over the country’s past 250 years. A touchpoint of Patchwork is the museum’s Bicentennial Quilt. Crafted by Old Lyme quiltmakers in 1976, it features 24 patchwork blocks illustrating historic
events, houses, key landmarks, and rural subjects in Lyme and Old Lyme.

Are you compost-curious? Read all about how to compost in Judy Preston's "Gardening for Good" column in the summer issue. She writes that composting is a "powerful tool to manage food waste, capture carbon in an effort to offset climate change, and generate a powerful soil organic additive that can fuel healthy and resilient gardens and landscapes. Other benefits are many, including helping soil retain moisture, improve drainage, control erosion, remediate toxins, and reduce weeds and disease." Sounds great, but how?
