In the next few weeks, visitors will see vibrant flower bulbs coming into bloom in the garden.

“We’re a wholesale flower bulb supplier, so it’s basically a living catalogue of everything that we carry,” says Colorblends owner Tim Schipper. “We have a lot of regular visitors that know to come a couple times in the spring time to see what’s going on.”

The garden and house are open until mid-May.

An artist reception is set for April 18 from 3 to 6 p.m.

PLAINFIELD, CT — A man is accused of throwing rocks at a home and banging on the homeowner’s door, police said.

At 9:37 a.m. Saturday, police received a call for a report of vandalism to a motor vehicle on Church Street in Plainfield.

The caller reported that a Walmart delivery order containing perishable grocery items had mistakenly arrived on their front porch, police said.

The caller reported that upon realizing the items were perishable, the bags were placed inside their refrigerator to prevent spoilage, police said.

“The caller stated that an unknown male had then arrived at their residence and began throwing rocks at the residence, was banging on the door shouting profanities, and deflated a tire on the caller’s vehicle in the driveway,” police said in a news release.

After reviewing surveillance footage, officers made contact with the accused, Kyle Wilczek, 28, at his residence nearby and placed him under arrest without incident, police added.

He is charged with second-degree breach of peace and two counts of third-degree criminal mischief and was released on a $5,000 bond.
