Franklin County Healthy Community Coalition garden event is June 13

FARMINGTON — The Healthy Community Coalition staff and Dave Fuller from the UMaine Cooperative Extension service will host a free gardening event from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursday, June 13, at the Hope Harvest Garden.
The garden center is next to Stanley Health Center, 111 Franklin Health Commons, at Franklin Memorial Hospital.
Staff will offer gardening tips and hands-on demonstrations on growing fresh vegetables; Fuller will be available to answer all gardening questions. Participants will be able to take home their own container garden. All plants and supplies are free, while supplies last. In the case of severe weather the event will be postponed to June 27.
Container gardening is a fun and easy way to enjoy fresh vegetables regardless of whether one has limited space in their yard as these gardens grow well on sunny steps and entryways.
