Upper Dublin Parks and Recreation to Host Herb Window Box Event

The Montgomery County Master Gardeners will demonstrate how to make a an herb garden that fits right outside your window.

There may quite possibly be few things more refreshing on a sweltering summer’s evening than gulping down a few glasses of home-brewed iced tea — save, perhaps, adding your very own home-grown mint leaves to enhance the already cool drink. While there are a wide variety of herbs one can grow, such gardens need not a large plot of land to grow. In fact, they grow well in just about anywhere with a lot of sun … say outside a window? If creating your very own window herb garden interests you, Upper Dublin Parks and Recreation will host just such an event on May 15, from 7 – 9 p.m. at the township building, located at 801 Loch Alsh Ave. in Fort Washington. The Montgomery County Master Gardeners will facilitate the instructional class. …

Resident Captures Photos Of Rare Albino Deer

The albino deer was spotted along the walking trail of Mondauk Common.

This post comes courtesy of Upper Dublin Patch reader Solomon Mermelstein, who captured three photos of the increasingly-rare albino deer. Mermelstein said that he was walking along the one-mile trail at Mondauk Common, when he observed the albino deer staring back at him. The albino deer was joined by a normal deer shortly after, and the two went on their way. Editor's note: Reader Bob McArthur says "it's not an albino deer, it's called a pie-bald. An albino would be all white with redish eyes. This deer has normal colored eyes & as you can see, light & dark brown patches."
