Thank you to all who came out to the blueberry fundraiser!

Over 80 people turned out on Wednesday night to hear Stan Ingram's informative talk on growing blueberries.  In addition to his other duties at Coonamessett Farm, Stan manages the farm's extensive blueberry field and attendees benefited from his valuable knowledge and experience.  Many of us enjoyed coffee and delicious home-baked treats (thank you, bakers!), and tried our luck at some exciting prizes, from blueberry-growing supplies to pies!

 Thank you to our donors:
Eight Cousins
Parkside Market
Peachtree Circle Farm
Pie in the Sky Bakery and Cafe
Windfall Market
and thank you to:
Stan Ingram of Coonamessett Farm,
the Falmouth High School National Honor Society for providing child care,
the Mullen-Hall P.T.O for their support,
Margaret McCormick of the Woods Hole Public Library, for seeking out an abundance of blueberry-themed books for the child care room,
 and to all the wonderful volunteers who helped make the night possible!

 
Proceeds from the blueberry fundraiser will go toward the next phase of garden construction at the Mullen-Hall School Garden, which will focus on permanent, curriculum-connected plantings.  

Couldn't make it?  No sweat!  You can still order blueberry plants through April 12 for pickup on April 21.  See the 'Pages' list here on the blog for a link to a printable order form.  We'll provide you with the growing info you need at pickup time.
