We are pleased to announce that the Framingham Garden Club will once again be at Framingham’s 2024 Earth Day Festival on April 20 from 11 to 3 in Framingham Centre, and we would like to invite you to join us! We are planning some interesting programs, so please stop by our booth, meet members of the Framingham Garden Club, and participate in our programs:
- Adopt a Pollinator Pet Rock Program – To encourage children to understand the role of pollinators in gardening, including at-risk pollinators, we will have an educational “Adopt a Pollinator Pet Rock” program for children who are accompanied by an adult, while supplies last. To complement this program we will have native plant lists for adults who wish to learn more about the type of native plants that will attract these pollinators and a native seed giveaway to encourage attracting pollinators in gardening.
- Community Giving Garden – Back by popular demand, the Community Giving Garden 2024 program will launch at Earth Day! This program enables Framingham residents to grow healthy vegetables and herbs at home and donate some of their harvest, by providing starter kits and educational materials throughout the growing season. In 2023, many families participated in this program, so we are happy to provide this program once again. We encourage families to pre-register on-line and pick up your starter kit at Earth Day, while supplies last.
Please stop by the Framingham Garden Club booth at Earth Day and say hello! In addition to these programs, members of the Framingham Garden Club welcome the opportunity to meet members of the community, learn about your gardening activities, and provide more information about the work of the FGC!
Happy Gardening,
The Framingham Garden Club
