SUMMARY:Hunts Brook Farm’s Annual Seedling Plant Sale
DESCRIPTION:Hunts Brook Farm’s Annual Seedling Plant Sale returns for a three-day celebration of gardening season\, offering locally grown vegetable plants\, herbs\, flowers\, and fruit-bearing varieties at Hunts Brook Farm. For gardeners across southeastern Connecticut\, the annual sale has become something of a spring tradition\, marking the unofficial start of the planting season as visitors arrive looking for healthy starter plants grown organically.

Hunts Brook Farm has built a reputation for sustainable farming practices and community agriculture\, and the annual plant sale reflects the same hands-on\, local farming spirit. Organizers are also offering mushroom logs for guests interested in growing their own shiitake mushrooms at home\, adding another layer to the event for gardeners looking to experiment beyond traditional planting beds. \nHunts Brook Farm’s Annual Seedling Plant Sale takes place Friday\, May 15\, from noon to 6 p.m.\, Saturday\, May 16\, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.\, and Sunday\, May 17\, from 9 a.m. to noon. Visitors are encouraged to bring boxes or crates to help transport plants safely.

SUMMARY:Operation Fresh Start - Annual Plant Drive
DESCRIPTION:Operation Fresh Start – Annual Plant Drive returns to Pawcatuck on Saturday\, May 16\, turning 93 Sunrise Ave into a spring community fundraiser filled with flowers\, garden shopping\, local makers\, and neighborhood support. Running from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.\, the annual event invites visitors to browse a wide selection of plants while enjoying the relaxed\, welcoming atmosphere that comes with small-town spring events in Southeastern Connecticut. Between blooming flowers\, raffle baskets\, and craft vendors\, the day is designed to feel just as much like a community gathering as it is a fundraiser. \nOperation Fresh Start – Annual Plant Drive supports Operation Fresh Start Inc.\, a nonprofit focused on helping families with children across New London County who are facing difficult circumstances. The organization provides donated household items for families setting up homes\, backpacks filled with necessities for children\, and assistance through seasonal drives supplying school items\, diapers\, toiletries\, pajamas\, toys\, and holiday gifts. Every purchase made during the plant sale directly supports those ongoing efforts\, giving the event a deeper purpose beyond the shopping itself. \nThe event is expected to draw gardeners looking for new additions to their yards alongside families searching for a simple spring outing close to home. Local crafters and raffle tables add to the experience\, creating the kind of easygoing community event where people linger\, talk\, and leave carrying flowers\, handmade goods\, and maybe a few extra raffle tickets. For anyone looking to spend a Saturday supporting a meaningful local cause while soaking up some springtime energy\, this Pawcatuck fundraiser offers a little bit of everything. \n
