Weather forecast:
• Historic Wayland Family Business Celebrates 150 Years (patch.com) — Wayland residents can help celebrate 150 years of Russell’s Garden Center, a five-generation family business that has grown from a small town-center farm stand into one of New England’s largest garden centers. The story traces how the Russell family repeatedly adapted the Route 20 landmark through economic upheavals, industry changes, and the pandemic, while expanding greenhouses, retail offerings, and seasonal attractions that still draw local customers today.
• Wayland Bans Outdoor Water Use Amid Treatment Plant Issue (patch.com) — Wayland has imposed mandatory restrictions on nonessential outdoor water use after a mechanical problem at the Baldwin Pond Treatment Plant, and has activated its emergency connection to MWRA for backup supply. Residents face fines and possible water shutoffs for violating rules on sprinklers, car washing, and surface cleaning, while being advised about differences in MWRA water treatment and how to get more information from the DPW.
• Wayland Home Sales Climb This Spring (patch.com) — Wayland’s housing market heated up in April, with 17 homes sold—a 70% jump from last year—even as the number of listings shrank sharply. Median prices dipped slightly, bucking the statewide trend of rising prices and falling sales, giving local buyers and sellers a clearer picture of how Wayland differs from the broader Massachusetts market.
