📰 News we're reading

• Wellesley Bank Provides A Space For Local Businesses (iheart.com) — A new Village Bank business incubator on Washington Street is giving Wellesley entrepreneurs free retail space, starting with children's clothing maker and seamstress Yvonne Piper. Her six‑month pop‑up shop showcases sustainable, nostalgic-style kids' clothes while the program tests how this former E.A. Davis storefront can help more small local brands get established.
   

• Invasive lanternflies appear across Wellesley campus (thewellesleynews.com) — Spotted lanternflies are now a frequent sight around Wellesley College, making the town one of 150 Massachusetts communities dealing with the invasive insect. Local experts say native predators and limited host trees may keep damage in check, and they advise students to focus on caring for campus trees rather than trying to stomp every bug they see.
   

• Mass Hort's gardens and art classes showcase fall in Wellesley (wcvb.com) — Massachusetts Horticultural Society's Elm Bank gardens in Wellesley are turning peak fall color into a hands-on classroom, with botanical art courses that teach residents to closely observe leaves, petals, and plant structure.
