Open Farm Day – Plant Sale #2!

Our first plant sale was a major success – you won’t want to miss out on our next plant sale (the cucurbit edition!) and Open Farm Day next weekend!

Saturday, May 30th
11am to 2pm – RAIN OR SHINE
Everything is PAY-WHAT-YOU-CAN so everyone can participate in our local food system!

PLANT SALE offerings include:
– ANNUAL VEGETABLES: summer squash (zucchini), winter squash, cucumbers, pumpkin, watermelon, cantaloupe, onions, a few hot & sweet peppers, eggplant, kale, cabbage, seed potatoes, and tomatoes (our remaining tomatoes are not in great shape, but should rebound once in the ground)
– HERBS: thyme & dill
– ANNUAL FLOWERS: sunflowers & zinnias, plus small amounts of cosmos, calendula, strawflower, and bachelor’s buttons
– PERENNIAL FRUIT/CANES/ROOTED CUTTINGS: raspberries, rhubarb, gooseberry, elderberry, currants, and asparagus
– PERENNIAL FLOWERS: scented geranium, shasta daisy, and irises

Please bring your own box/tray to transport your goodies home in! We can accept cash payment or e-transfer.

IN ADDITION TO OUR PLANT SALE, WE ALSO HAVE THESE OTHER GREAT OFFERINGS FOR YOU TO TAKE IN:

11:00AM COMPOSTING 101 (English only)
Learn all the basics and a variety of methods for successful backyard composting, in partnership with the City of Fredericton.

ALSO ON OFFER:
Roll on up to the Farm and join Robert Scott and Grace McAteer for any help you might need to maintain your bicycle.

And that’s not all: remember our tool steward Peter Gilbert? He’ll be back this time with the knowledge and energy to help you tune up your own dull or misbehaving garden tools (hoes, rakes, shovels, loppers, pruners, etc.). Bring ’em on up and see what problems you can solve together.

Crops are still just getting settled in the ground, but we may have a very small produce stand going with rhubarb and bunched fresh herbs.
