March 24, 2026: Local Vernal Order

Spring is trying real hard to spring. Thus, we will do our part to gently nudge it along as we visit a small hilltop in Montague where Jo Rosen at Meadowhawk Farm is embracing her role as a seed steward and working towards seed sovereignty. Plus she'll give some insights to what you can be doing right now at the end of March to get your own seeds ready for your own garden.And the vernal times are when more than just birds break into song. The Local Vocal Chord Bowl highlights some of the area's many singing groups  across a wide array of age ranges. Roxy Schneider and Ann Chiara of founding group and local ensemble, Green Street Brew, give us a rundown of the gathering and we and eavesdrop on a rehearsal with Susan Dillard and the Northampton High School Chamber Choir who'll perform at this Saturdays event happening at Northampton High.And Word Nerd Emily Brewster, resident wordster and senior editor at Merriam-Webster in Springfield explains to us why and how we organize adjectives in the way we do as we learn about the Royal Order of Adjectives.
