Growing food organically is a four season enterprise. Learn when and what to do now and over the winter to protect, feed and nourish your soil. Evaluate what’s been going on in your garden this past season and begin to map next year’s rotational planting chart. Look at clearing, composting and cover cropping to enrich the earth over the winter. If you’re planning your first garden, this is a great time to begin! Includes some hands-on experience at the Willows Cottage farm.

Happy New Year from the Friends of the WIllows Cottage! The end of 2010 was full of exciting developments for us; here are some highlights:
• We are pleased to announce that the energy conservation work as funded by the Pennsylvania Conservation Works grant has been substantially completed, and is now in its “punch list” stages.
• In collaboration with the Radnor Historical Society, we are organizing an event for this spring. Former residents of the Willows Cottage, from the days when the Willows was an active estate, will share their recollections of living there. Stay tuned to this page for more details, and the exact date of this exciting event.
• The Friends of the Willows Cottage has received its 501(c)(3) status, and is now an officially recognized non-profit organization by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania!
Hundreds of people attended the first ever Harvest Festival at the Willows Cottage on October 25th. Great music, delicious food, and fun was had by all. Check out the video!
