Under a tent on the Green at the White Hart in Salisbury, students, parents, teachers and community members gathered last Friday for the sixth annual Wine Dinner and Auction. Money was raised to benefit the HVRHS International Travel Club’s 2025 trips to Italy/Germany and to Thailand. While students waited tables and sold tickets for door prizes, about 130 guests dined on roasted duck and various wines and bid on auction items donated by local businesses, artisans and organizations. Actor Sam Waterston spoke in support of the program, applauding the students for serving the meal and calling them the stars of the show. While final tallies are still being totaled, an estimated $50,000 was raised by the end of the night.

After moving to West Cornwall in 2012, we were given a thoughtful housewarming gift: the 1997 edition of “Dirr’s Hardy Trees and Shrubs.” We were told the encyclopedic volume was the definitive gardener’s reference guide — a fact I already knew, having purchased one several months earlier at the recommendation of a gardener I admire.

At the time, we were in the thick of winter invasive removal, and I enjoyed reading and dreaming about the trees and shrubs I could plant to fill in the bare spots where the bittersweet, barberry, multiflora rose and other invasive plants had been.Years later, I purchased the 2011 edition, updated and inclusive of plants for warm climates.
