Saturday Sightings

Hi everyone!

My building check went well again this week :)  It is definitely sad that the museum will not be opening next Friday, but it will stand strong until we can return!

Today's nugget of nature is the chives greening up in the kitchen garden at the museum.

Fun facts about chives:
  • Chives attract butterflies. 
  • They are a perennial herb that likes a cool season and are cold-tolerant. 
  • Chives are said to repel pests such as the Japanese beetle. 
  • In herbal folklore, one hung bunches of chives in their home to send away diseases and evil. 
  • Chives can be a symbol of usefulness. 

Have a safe week everyone and take care!
