Report from our Community Garden Excursion

The Community Garden hosted a visit to the Wagon Hill Farm this week. The 139-acre historic and conservation property in nearby Durham, New Hampshire features trails, meadows, an orchard, wildlife education and protection and a model community garden. Master gardeners founded the garden, which is open to the public 7 days a week. 

The field trip offered residents a chance to connect, network, and learn about best practices for running an organic community garden that benefits both individual gardeners and the public. 

This special event took place as part of the 2026 programming.

The Gardening 101 Social runs every 2nd and 4th Wednesday, June through September, from 6:30 to 7pm and is open to all residents. 

Our Playground is ready for play!

The highly anticipated playground equipment (swingset, rocker and spinner) is installed and ready for play!

We’ll be working on the finishing touches in the upcoming weeks, such as planting grass in the surrounding bare dirt spots and placing additional seating options in that area once delivered.

We also have a molded adaptive swing seat with safety harnesses available to be installed upon request.

Please note, the woodchips are currently “fluffy”, but will compact over time. If you could please try to keep them in the contained area, we’d appreciate it!  🙂

Big “thank you”  to the Cedars Grounds Committee for all of their hard work in planning, researching, and bringing the initial phase of the playground relocation to life for our community. 

Remember, Owners and Residents are welcome to join the committee! If you are interested in getting involved and helping to plan future projects, please reach out to the office and we’ll connect you.

Enjoy,

the Cedars Team

Keeping Cedars Looking It’s Best!

Our buildings recently received a soft-wash siding cleaning, and the results are easy to see. The siding on our buildings looks fresh and clean, helping keep our community looking well maintained.

We appreciate the crew’s hard work throughout the project. They spent long days working in the hot summer heat and completed the job with care and professionalism!

Thank you!

Cedars’ Phone System Upgrade

Hi All Cedars Residents and Owners, 

We wanted to send a quick note to let you know we are in the process of upgrading our phone systems. 

When you call, you will notice some small changes…

The new voicemail currently has prompts to choose from: 

Press 1 to leave a message for Office

Press 2 if it is after hours and you need to be connected to the on-call Maintenance answering service

Press * to repeat the message

We will be tweaking and expanding the details in the next couple of days, as needed, but wanted to send a quick heads-up since the current voicemail recording is a new lovely robotic lady. We will personalize it ASAP! 

 We hope the new customization options will better serve everyone, as we adjust it to our community/property needs.  

As always, please feel free to email and if needed, the direct answering service number is 603-294-5911 for after hours maintenance emergencies.

Best,
the Cedars Team
