The sun has come and gone and come again, and, despite all the rain, the Veggies to Table grow-to-donate farm is in full swing.
Carrots, cucumbers, celery, chard, kale, tomatoes, eggplants, peppers, zucchini are being harvested along with tons of flowers including dahlias, zinnias, asters and more. Everything is headed out to those in need of food and joy in the community.
All are invited to Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens from 4-6 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 10 for a benefit concert for the farm.
There will be music from singer songwriter John Schindler, local duo No Spring Chickens, and fiddler Howie Carlough along with complimentary French wine, Oxbow beer, and delicious appetizers and cheese. There will also a raffle with many great gifts, including Veggies to Table flowers and swag, a night in The Tipsy Butler in Newcastle, two memberships to the Alliance Française du Maine, and more.
Attendees can enjoy a complimentary walk around the gardens, thanks to the generosity of the botanical gardens.
