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.

Sunset Date Nights in the Field
Indulge in a peaceful summer evening among the peak of the lavender bloom at Pumpkin Blossom Farm with your other half, a friend, or anyone you'd like to watch the sunset with.

After you've received your basket, exit the barn into our rolling fields, and wander freely to select the perfect spot in the fragrant sea of lavender. Immerse yourself in the sights and sounds of pure serenity, letting the gentle breeze caress your skin and the rhythmic hum of bees create a soothing melody. Take your included shears and stem ring, and pick your own fresh bundle of lavender.
Delight in the culinary creations of Beth from Barrel and Baskit in Hopkinton, NH, as you unwrap a charcuterie box for two. Beth thoughtfully curates each box with fresh local fruits, vegetables, meats, cheeses, crackers, spreads, and nuts. Conclude the evening on a sweet note with a lavender-infused dessert designed for sharing, a delectable treat that adds an extra layer of indulgence to your evening.
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.
Everything you need for the evening will be provided for you, however you are welcome to BYOB, and/or bring additional food items to supplement your picnic. Please contact Ashley @ ashley@pumpkinblossomfarm.com for any questions, dietary restrictions, or other concerns regarding the event.

Wild Edibles in and Around Wilmot
Wilmot and adjacent communities are home to over 60 species of edible wild plants, including mushrooms, many of which are more nutritious and/or flavorful than their cultivated counterparts.
Join Russ Cohen, author of the book Wild Plants I Have Known…and Eaten, on June 6 at 6:30 p.m., at the WCA's Red Barn for a free 90-minute slide show to learn about at least two dozen of the tastiest wild plant species and mushrooms the region has to offer. The WCA is located at 64 Village Rd, Wilmot Flat next to the Wilmot Post Office.
This program is sponsored by the Wilmot Garden Club, Wilmot Conservation Commission and the Wilmot Community Association (WCA).
Keys to the identification of each species will be provided, along with information on edible portion(s), season(s) of availability and preparation methods, and guidelines for safe, ethical and environmentally-responsible foraging.
Cohen will also accompany his talk with handouts and samples of goodies made with wild foraged ingredients for people to sip and nibble on.

Candlelight Yoga in the Barn
6:15pm to 6:30pm : Arrival and Check-In
We recommend arriving no earlier/later than 15 minutes before the class begins to check in and acclimate yourself to the peaceful ambiance of our open-air candlelit barn. Arriving early allows you to fully immerse yourself in the serene setting of the barn and prepare your mind and body for the class. Get settled, sync in with yourself, breathe, and tap into the here and now.
6:30 PM – Candlelight Relaxation Yoga (60 minutes)
Experience a tranquil and rejuvenating yoga session designed to bring harmony to your mind, body, and spirit. This slow-paced practice emphasizes mindful movement, deep stretches, and intentional breathing. The session concludes with guided progressive relaxation and a meditative stillness period of shavasana. Enhance your relaxation by draping one of our heavenly lavender-scented eye pillows for an added touch of serenity, or use our farm made Yoga Mat Spray to cleanse and naturally scent your mat and props.
Held in our candlelit barn loft adorned with twinkle lights and candles, this class offers a uniquely calming atmosphere. Students of all ages and abilities are warmly welcome to join this restorative experience.
7:30 PM – 7:45 PM: Lavender Sweet Treat
Following your practice, indulge in a delightful lavender-infused treat. Savor a refreshing glass of lavender lemonade and a delectable baked good infused with the soothing essence of lavender. It’s the perfect way to cap off an evening of relaxation.
What to Bring
To ensure a comfortable experience, we recommend you bring the following:
Your own yoga mat
A blanket or cozy sweater
Water
Optional personal props such as blocks, straps, or bolsters
Please note that we have a limited supply of mats, bolsters, and straps available in the barn studio that you are welcome to use if you do not own any gear!
Post-Class Bliss After class, linger a little longer to soak in the peaceful vibes. Enjoy complimentary lavender lemonade as you find a cozy spot on the grass or relax in one of our Adirondack chairs. Bask in the post-yoga glow and connect with nature.
Meet Your Teacher Our yoga instructor, Jen, is passionate about creating a welcoming and inclusive environment for all of her guests. She is available before and after class to chat, provide guidance, and answer any questions you may have.

Mount Sunapee Parking Lot Expansion & Wastewater Lagoons Info Session
Join LSPA and the Newbury Conservation Commission (NCC) for Two Upcoming Meetings Regarding the Mount Sunapee Parking Lot Expansion and the Wastewater Lagoons
Learn more about the issues regarding the Mount Sunapee Parking Lot Expansion and Wastewater Treatment Lagoons on our webpage.
Concerns Remain About the Mt. Sunapee Parking Lot Expansion and Wastewater Treatment Lagoons
LSPA and The Newbury Conservation Commission (NCC) remain extremely concerned about the water quality impacts of the outdated and poorly functioning wastewater treatment system in use at the Mt. Sunapee Resort since 1972. The system stores effluent from septic tanks in a series of unlined lagoons. It uses a spray irrigation system to spray effluent into three vegetated fields, but some of the spray goes into natural wetlands. Because the lagoons are unlined, they leak an unknown amount of effluent into groundwater and into Beck Brook, which flows into Lake Sunapee at the State Beach. It is the oldest version of this type of system currently in use in New Hampshire, and several similar facilities in the state have been denied Department of Environmental Services (DES) permits. Yet a Groundwater Discharge Permit has been granted for Mt. Sunapee Resort’s facility despite the fact that it has regularly exceeded the required water quality standards in the permit for Total Suspended Solids (TSS) on over 48 occasions (62% of samples from 2018 – 2024) and has exceeded the Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) standard at least 15 times (approximately 20% of samples from 2018 – 2024). Data from these monitoring well reports are publicly available on DES’s OneStop system.
