What started out as a friendly kerfuffle about gardens among friends who enter the Carding Home and Garden Show  has turned into a fierce competition. Never has the Carding gardening community worked so hard. And so far, the only winner is Andy Cooper, the co-owner and manager of Carding’s general store.

He’s the only in-town source of gardening supplies, after all.

Check in tomorrow to see how preparations are progressing in this week’s Carding Chronicle. 

Here’s a sample of what’s in store.

Welcome to Carding, Vermont where life always includes a dash of the unexpected. You can find the little town that no one can seem to find on a map right here in the Carding Chronicles and in the four novels of Carding, Vermont, The Road Unsalted, Thieves of Fire, The Dazzling Uncertainty of Life, and Lights in Water, Dancing.
