Master Gardener and Master Melittologist Anne Bulger on native mason bees: why they’re such good pollinators, what’s hiding inside their nesting tubes, and how to harvest and clean cocoons so your bees make it through winter healthy.

Artists open their studios to the public for a free, self-guided weekend — you get to see how, why, and where the work actually gets made. Ten of the 51 studios are right here in Ridgefield, so you can hit a handful without leaving town. Presented by the nonprofit Artstra; this is a juried event, so the bar is high. Grab the studio map on their site and plan your route. Pairs nicely with the downtown wine walk that afternoon.
Councilmembers Lee Wells and Clyde Burkle host the final Council Chat of the fall, with complimentary pastries. The early-bird option for anyone who would rather talk local government before work than on a weekend.
Celebrate the beauty of autumn with a relaxing evening of wine, small bites, and cookie decorating. You'll decorate six charming fall-themed cookies while learning decorating tips and tricks to recreate them at home. Enjoy a complimentary drink as you welcome the season with friends and family.
Art Chats are held once a month to promote awareness of art in our area, to encourage sharing our own art, to teach art techniques, to share local art events, and to network with your peers. Bring one or two pieces of your art to share, or just come to enjoy the camaraderie.
Ages 13+
