The Bermuda Botanical Society is expected to get a new lease of life under the leadership of Molly White. Mrs White was appointed president on Sunday and the newly elected executive committee has been tasked with creating closer partnerships to help ...

This month we should see a downward movement in temperature. With that comes the opportunity to do some planting, especially the wide range of annuals which will add colour through the cooler months of the year. Herbs can also be planted at this tim...
