AND the answer is… B) Kousa Dogwood 🌸

For nearly six decades, Joe Silveira nurtured Sowams Nursery, specializing in White and Pink Kousa Dogwood trees that still stand tall along Sowams Road today . Even after the nursery closed in 2015, Joe’s passion for plants lived on — at 95, he was still caring for his beloved fig and bird of paradise plants.

The Silveiras’ story reminds us that Barrington isn’t just where we live — it’s where roots are planted, families grow, and legacies bloom. 🌿

I bumped into the beautiful Berry family — our cover family from September 2022, back when we were called The Barrington Sound! The kids are growing up so fast — can’t believe it’s been three years already! It was such a joy seeing them out and about in Barrington today. Love our neighbors and this wonderful community we get to celebrate every month. 💛

And the answer is… B) Cross Country 🏃‍♂️✨

That’s right — our October 2023 cover star Timmy Santoro wasn’t just an Eagle Scout and student leader, he also poured countless hours into training and competing as a cross-country runner for Barrington High School. His dedication on and off the field made him a standout in every sense of the word.

Spotlighting residents like Timmy is what Greet Barrington is all about — celebrating the young people, families, and businesses who make this community such a special place. 💙💛
