В Гилфорде пройдет пешеходная экскурсия на поля фермеров и лабиринт в парке

GUILFORD — The next Guilford Cares Senior Walk will be held Tuesday, September 15 in Algiers Village. We will meet at the Guilford Community Church at 10:30 a.m. Algiers is the gateway to the Town of Guilford when traveling south on Route 5 from Brattleboro. The village includes the Guilford Country Store, Richmond Auto Repair, the Guilford Community Park Pavilion and the historic Christ Church, built in the Gothic Revival style of 1817. In 2003, Guilford Preservation Inc. (GPI) raised community funds and partnered with Vermont Land Trust to protect 24 acres along Route 5 from commercial development. In 2024, GPI offered small-plot leaseholds in the field that are visible from Route 5 to encourage agriculture. Karen Murphy, a former member of GPI will lead us from Guilford Community Church along a short, flat path to the five plots now under cultivation, including Footbridge Flowers. Growers will be available to talk about farming there and answer questions. We will then walk back to Guilford Community Park where you can choose to take a relaxing walk through the seven-circuit labarynth. Perhaps you would like to bring a lunch or snack to enjoy under the beautiful, shady timber frame pavilion. Guilford Community Church is at 38 Church Drive, on the left going south off Route 5 just past the Guilford Country Store.
