Field Day at Tidewater Farm scheduled for June 10

University of Maine Cooperative Extension will host a Field Day from 10 a.m.–noon on Saturday, June 10 at the UMaine Gardens at Tidewater Farm, 200 Presumpscot Point Road, Falmouth.

Demonstrations begin at 10:30 a.m. Child-friendly activities will be provided. No registration required.

Hands-on demonstrations include when and how to properly divide plants, through which participants will be given a small plant to take home; how to maximize garden space with succession planting and tips for watering gardens during the summer.
