Join us at Wolfes Neck Center for a program celebrating the classic Maine story, “Blueberries for Sal”.
We will meet at the Farm Store (184 Burnett Road) where we will read the story. Then we’ll load into the wagon for a ride to our gardens to pick some delicious high bush blueberries!
After, we’ll use our harvest to make a farm fresh treat with some Stonyfield Yogurt and some other tasty goodies.

A great selection of perennials, annuals, herbs and seedlings, from full shade to full sun, will be available. All plants are donated by volunteers, friends and neighbors. There will be plants for the beginning gardener and those with green thumbs. Whether you are a novice looking to start your first garden or a green thumb looking for something new, our plants run the gamut. The Annual Plant Sale is a wonderful way to recover from the long winter and support Wolfe’s Neck Center.
Anyone wishing to assist with this year’s sale or has plants to donate should contact Tim Lewis at striper295@comcast.net.
