The Rehoboth Garden Club Annual Plant Sale Fundraiser took place at Francis Farm on Saturday May 2, and was a great success. Our sincere thanks and appreciation go out to our Rehoboth Selectmen, specifically Selectman George Solas, Tish Vadnais and the Agricultural Commission, Buildings and Maintenance Supervisor Mike Viveiros and his crew, the Rehoboth Police Department for diligently protecting our plants and property, Adam Latham and Skyler Hall of Bristol County Agricultural High School, Sousa Family Farm on Agricultural Ave. Rehoboth, and Frerichs Farm in Warren, RI.
To our club members who dug up their own plants to donate, and volunteered their help before, during and after the sale, and our many loyal customers who supported our annual fundraiser, we couldn’t have done it without you. All your purchases help to fund our scholarship, civic, and educational programs.
On May 18th, members visited the beautiful Kinney Azalea Gardens in Kingston, RI for a guided tour of their extensive gardens of more than 1,000 cultivars and species of azaleas in full bloom, rhododendrons, trees and shrubs.
Our June 15th meeting will take place at Ocean Hour Farm in Newport, RI. Members will be guided through a living example of sustainable agriculture and land stewardship that sequesters carbon, cleans stormwater, builds soil, and produces food and fiber for the community.
New members are always welcome! For club information please contact Michael Seebeck at 401-787-5206 or michaeljseebeck@gmail.com.
