Press Herald covers fundraiser for UMaine Extension children’s garden

The Portland Press Herald reported the second annual Taste of Tidewater raised $15,000 for the University of Maine Cooperative Extension children’s garden at Tidewater Farm, near the Presumpscot River in Falmouth. “We’re installing a new children’s garden and are adding plant materials and structures like cucumber tunnels, planting tables and water features,” said Amy Witt, a horticulturist with UMaine Extension. “We want to offer kids hands-on opportunities. The goal is to get schools down to the garden for programs tying in with their curriculum and to offer recreation and preschool programs.”
