Lavender Sunset Garden Party
As summer lingers on the horizon, Pumpkin Blossom Farm invites you to a Garden Party designed to delight the senses and celebrate the season’s quiet beauty. Held just before the lavender fields burst into bloom, this intimate gathering is an ode to fresh flavors, slow living, and the magic of farm-grown ingredients.
At the heart of the evening is a lavender-infused charcuterie and passed appetizer experience, an artfully arranged tablescape overflowing with local meats and cheeses, sun-ripened fruits and produce, and thoughtfully curated sweet & savory pairings infused with the essence of lavender. Every bite is meant to be savored, every detail chosen to highlight the simple elegance of seasonal ingredients, and the abundance of the harvest season.
Inspired by the essence of the changing seasons, Chef Paul Serrano of Chez Paul has prepared a lush menu with vibrant colors and flavors to perfectly complement the event. After a 30 year career as a civil engineer, Paul has pursued his passion to be a Chef and to connect with people through food. Starting at the bottom in NH seacoast kitchens, Paul is currently the; Chapter Chef at Alpha Gamma Rho on the campus of the University of New Hampshire; Garden Chef at Bedrock Gardens in Lee, NH, Farm Chef at Lavender Fields in Warner, NH, and is the Chef Owner of Chez Paul Cookery, a personal chef business.
Complementing the feast, our signature lavender cocktails will be available at the Zen Bar—floral, herby, refreshing, and balanced, designed to capture the spirit of early summer in every sip, as well as a craft Lavender Lemon Lager, brewed for the event by our friends at The Last Chair Brewery in Plymouth, NH. With a drink in hand, wander the fields, take in the golden-hour glow, and enjoy the peaceful ambiance of the farm as day drifts into evening and the hazy pink sunset streaks across the sky.
Light, folksy, & laidback acoustic tones will frame the event with a serene and laid back ambiance, as Live Music finds its way into the spaces between conversation.
This is an event for those who appreciate life’s little luxuries: inspired flavors, good conversation, and an atmosphere of joy and abundance . Whether you’re gathering with friends, treating yourself to an unforgettable evening, or simply looking for a moment of beauty and connection, the Garden Party is an invitation to pause, indulge, and welcome the season ahead.

In this haven, the rest of the world fades away, leaving you with the opportunity to focus on the things that truly matter, be it the beauty of nature, the joy of shared moments, or the simple pleasure of being present in the here and now. Pumpkin Blossom Farm invites you to embrace the magic of the lavender bloom and create cherished memories in this enchanting sanctuary of peace and beauty.

Board of Selectmen Meeting w/Budget and Police Facilities Advisory Committees
The Selectmen have asked the Budget and PFAC to join them at a meeting on Wednesday, April 23rd at 6:00PM in Whipple to discuss recent developments at the Public Works Department concerning the office/garage on S. Pleasant Street. The building has been determined to be structurally deficient so it has been vacated by public works staff and temporary office and storage units have been rented and placed on-site. The town is now in the process of getting information on demolishing the building. In the coming weeks and months we will be working on how best to provide a replacement for this space so that we are able to bring a request for funds at the March 2026 Town Meeting.
The purpose of this joint meeting will be to discuss whether this unexpected expense changes how they will approach the request for funds under Article #3 when voters meet to reconsider it on May 14th. Given that they did not know that the town would need to replace the public works building when the decision to ask voters to approve the purchase of the Garvey land was made, they want to hear from you whether this new information causes you to feel that a change in support for the purchase of land is prudent.
The ultimate decision will be for the voters on May 14th however the selectmen will address this recent event and will offer voters their opinion on whether or not they continue to support the land purchase – your input will help them to form that opinion.

Story Time
Weekly on Wednesdays at 10 AM. Join us in the the garden for stories, songs and rhymes (in the meeting room in case of inclement weather). Each week has a unique theme. We also have themed take and make craft bag that you can complete at home.

HuManities Mondays - Live Free or Die: The Contested History of the Words on Your License Plate
Join us for an evening of riveting storytelling, historical insight, and a deeper look at the power and fragility of free speech.
New Hampshire native Dan Billin worked as a newspaper reporter in the Granite State for seventeen years. His nose for a story and years of relentless research have brought to light a wealth of detail about the shocking and long-forgotten tale of Noyes Academy and the extraordinary Black students who dared seek an education in antebellum New Hampshire. He has now applied those same journalistic instincts to illuminating how putting the state motto, “Live Free or Die,” on NH license plates kicked off a battle over the First Ammendment.
In 1969, when New Hampshire officials decided to put the state’s motto – “live free or die” – on its license plates, many citizens viewed the act as an endorsement of the deeply unpopular war being waged in Vietnam and protested by covering up or altering the motto. In response, authorities cracked down hard: arresting, fining, and sometimes even incarcerating those who engaged in duct-tape dissent. People appealed their convictions, sparking a legal contest over the First Amendment that went all the way to the United States Supreme Court.

FREE Adults Easter Egg Hunt
Remember the childhood thrill of Easter egg hunts? Join us from 1:00 to 2:00 PM for a FREE Adults-Only Easter Egg Hunt, where hidden eggs hold candy, coupons for items at the nursery, and raffle tickets for an incredible selection of prizes. You can use your raffle tickets to enter for gift certificates, garden art, statuary, gorgeous plants, and other exciting prizes! We'll count down at the start line at 1:00 PM and the hunting ends once every egg is found! There won't be any restocking, so make sure to arrive on time to have the best chance to find all the prizes! Bring your own basket or we can loan you one while you hunt.
We also invite you to relive the magic with us and come dressed in your best Easter-themed costume. We’ll judge your costumes and award the best-dressed with a $50 Black Forest Nursery gift certificate (PG costumes only, please)! Costume judging is at 1:45 PM, and raffle prize drawings start at 2:00 PM, so stick around, and you might just take home something amazing!
