 The Town of Orange CT in October of 2006 performed a revaluation on property assessments, which will be phased in over the next 5 years. If you are interested in calculating the difference on your current home or on one you are interested in purchasing in the town of Orange the formula is as follows;

Example: 2006 assessment = 238,400

2005 assessment = 138,000

238,400 - 138,000 = 100,400

100,400/5 = 20,080

20,080 + 138,000 = 158,080

158,080 x .0299 = $4,726.60

 The garden Club in Orange CT presents "Proper Pruning Techniques" by Master Gardener Kevin Wasilewski, at the Case Memorial Library at 1:00pm. A luncheon will be served at 11:30 followed by the clubs business. Members of the club will exhibit forced branches and bulbs and potted plants.

I will put this date on my calendar as I have ordered 34 Apple trees for this spring from Adams County Nursery in Pennsylvania as well as Cherry Trees, Peach, Prune and Apricot. Let's just hope they survive the deer in the yard let alone my pruning technique. From Nourse Farm in Massachusetts I have ordered Blueberry bushes, raspberry and blackberry and black raspberries, and I'm hoping if I plant enough the birds will save some for me.
