Join Paul and Nina Lukens founders of Little Ark Farm, a certified organic market garden here in Enfield.

The past 40 years have seen major breakthroughs in our understanding of plant and soil biology. This science is so new that the ink’s still wet on the papers and certainly hasn’t made it into high school textbooks yet. Discover what recent research tells us about how plants get their nutrients and fight diseases and the role microscopic allies play, and learn how a microscope can help you leverage this new science in your own garden and yard.

After the discussion, Nina and Paul will do a live demonstration with their digital microscope and some of their own compost. Bring samples of your own turf, garden soil, or compost so we can compare and analyze soil life up close together!

Paul and Nina Lukens have been digging in the dirt together for nearly 40 years, gardening together for nearly 20, and working their land together for 10, all while juggling off-farm work and homeschooling their five kids. They love what they do.

The 25 sights and places you should visit when you retire, or before!

In recent years there have been a multitude of books charting the thousands of places you must see, such as gardens, historic sights, churches or cemeteries, before you die. Let’s consider the thrill of visiting and exploring some of these unique places as you retire, or simply have the inclination to travel at any time.

Dr. Richard Benfield, visitor to over 137 countries, will outline his Top 25 list. He will eschew the obvious and popular (Sistine Chapel, Big Ben, Grand Canyon) and take you on what Robert Frost called the road less travelled; places for adventure and places rarely mentioned in “1000 places you must see.”

Thus, we will see the oldest human-made artifact in the world (800,000 years old), 40,000-year-old Paleolithic Art, the great cathedrals of Europe, majestic mountains, the Panama Canal, gorillas in the mist and much more. Join us for this visually inspiring one-hour journey and get valuable tips for your next big adventure.

Dr. Benfield is the former Chair and Professor of Geography at Central Connecticut State University in New Britain, Connecticut where he taught courses in Human Geography, Plants, Predators and Parks, Russia, The European Union and many of the courses in the department’s tourism track. His current research interests are in biogeography, particularly garden tourism, and the use of tourism as a conservation tool through the great botanic gardens of the world.

A blood-drinker offers protection to the daughter of a drug lord. A guardian is more than he seems. A girl is taken on the ride of her life. The inner beast takes control. Obsession is made into art.
