This is a chance to jump-start your garden for the upcoming season and support the Marshfield Agricultural Commission with locally-grown seedlings. Commission members start and nurture select vegetables, herbs, and flowers using organic seeds, materials, and growing methods. There will also be homegrown perennial divisions from member gardens. Seedlings and divisions are offered for “adoption” for a donation, all donations benefit the Marshfield Agricultural Commission.
Adopt-a-Seedling Plant Sale, Marshfield
This event is the only fundraiser for this self-funded town commission which runs two community gardens, an island on Snow Road, and supports all things agricultural for the town of Marshfield. The town does not fund the commission, except for the approved CPC-funded projects currently ongoing.
Please watch for additional information featuring the in-person sales on May 18th during the Farmers Market at the Marshfield Fairgrounds. Commission members will be on hand to answer questions about varieties, planting, and growing food and flowers as well as the Commission’s role in the town of Marshfield.
