The 30th annual University of Maine Cooperative Extension Master Gardener Volunteer Plant Sale in Cumberland County will be held on Saturday, May 24 from 9 a.m. to noon at UMaine Gardens at Tidewater Farm, 200 Presumpscot Point Road, Falmouth.
Master Gardener Volunteers will be on hand to assist patrons with their plant selections and to offer growing tips. There will be a broad selection of organic vegetable seedlings, herb and annual seedlings, and native and pollinator plants for sale. Gently used garden tools and supplies, bags of local compost, raffle items, soft-serve by Maine Maple Creemee Co and tool sharpening by Wicked Sharp will also be available. This community-focused event will feature gardening demonstrations by Master Gardeners and kids activities led by 4-H staff.
All proceeds from the plant sale directly support community-based horticulture projects, which rely on the expertise and volunteer time of Master Gardener Volunteers. These projects are located across Cumberland County and include large undertakings such as demonstration gardens, Maine Harvest for Hunger initiatives, therapeutic gardens, school gardens, youth programs and more.
