The Landscape Committee (Grounds Maintenance and Lot Appearance) is interested in offering educational gardening sessions in the fall and spring seasons to Weathersfield residents on specific topics regarding plantings.
Beginning in September 2019, we have scheduled a session on shrubs/bushes for fall plantings, since October through December is the best time to plant shrubs. Members of the Landscape Committee will be available to discuss a range of bushes/shrubs that are evergreen, deer resistant and suitable for our community. They will also review resources available on-line to consult and the various nurseries offering shrubs/bushes that you can view.
Date: Tuesday, September 24, 2019 – 2:00-3:30 pm
Location: Shelia Creth – 587 Woodbury
If you plan to attend, please RSVP no later than September 18th, 2019 to Shelia.
Drivers and walkers be aware that Duke Power crews will be working next week (May 13-17) trimming trees around lamp posts and electrical wires along Village Way between Swim & Croquet and the Smokehouse mail kiosk.
The Weathersfield Service Group and the FHA do not provide, designate, or maintain any cut-through paths behind any Weathersfield homes other than roadways and FHA designated pathways. WSG is only bordered by FHA paths paralleling Village Way and Swim & Croquet. Our community places high priority on respecting the rights of all residents to peace, privacy, and security. If you are headed to (or from) the Smokehouse Mail Kiosk, and Weathersfield is in your plans, we encourage you to stay close to the paths on Village Way which have been specifically designated as an official trail by the FHA. That way you both avoid the natural hazards and respect the privacy of residents whose homes sit at the very edge of this section of our neighborhood.
Thank you so much for your help in alerting other walkers to this situation.
The Spring Fling will be held at the Grove on Friday, May 10th from 5-7 p.m. If it rains, we will move to the Gathering Place on the same date and at the same time. The cost per person is $3.00. Please bring an appetizer to share as well as your own chair to sit on. Beer, wine and soda will be provided.
Residents will be getting a hand-delivered invitation around April 18th. We would like to have responses from everyone no later than Friday, May 3rd. We will accept cash only. Please put your R.S.V.P. slip and money in the Weathersfield mailbox at the Swim & Croquet mail kiosk. The Weathersfield mailbox is on the east end of the kiosk (nearest Swim & Croquet) with the other Fearrington organization mailboxes.
It’s spring and the Wednesday evening Grove Gatherings are once again a highlight of the Weathersfield social calendar. Join your friends and neighbors this coming Wednesday and all future Wednesdays (in good weather) until the end of October. Bring your favorite beverage and a light snack to share. Gatherings begin at 5:00 p.m.
Current forecasts are for a wintery mix of rain, snow and ice coming overnight (Saturday, December 8) and into Sunday and Monday for our area.

Because of the efforts of several of our fellow Weathersfield residents, we have expanded the previous “Beginnings of Weathersfield” to a more complete and even more interesting “History of Weathersfield.” What’s more, lots of historical photos now illustrate the story. Check it out: The History of Weathersfield.
You can participate in further expanding our historical documentation. Send you stories, ideas, and especially photos to the Weathersfield webmaster at weathersfieldsg@gmail.com.
