"But each spring...a gardening instinct, sure as the sap rising in the trees, stirs within us.
We look about and decide to tame another little bit of ground."

A Letter to the Club

Dear Garden Club Members,

The Middlesex Conservation District will be holding its annual Spring Plant Sale on April 25/26. Items for sale will include tree and shrub seedlings, perennials, herbs, fruits, groundcovers and garden supplies (rain barrels, compost bins, fertilizers, etc).

All purchases support the MCD's environmental programs. We specialize in native plants, in starter sizes not typically found at garden centers. If you are interested in receiving our sale brochures for your garden club (we accept orders in advance through March 28), please respond to this email with your mailing address and I will be happy to send them out.

Thank you, Frances Gillespie, Plant Sale Coordinator, Middlesex Conservation District
319 Littleton Rd Suite 205, Westford, MA 01886, 978 692 9395
