HOULTON, Maine — Tractor Supply Company in Houlton at 337 North St. is inviting parents to unlock the hidden potential of their backyard with a family garden.
To introduce children to the joy of growing food in their backyard, Tractor Supply is hosting Get Growing, a five-day gardening event May 11-15. During the main event on Saturday, May 14, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., the store will feature a “first seed” station for children to plant a seed, take it home and watch it grow.
The Get Growing event will also feature community groups and activities, including gardening and organic planting and information.
“A lifetime of gardening can begin with a simple bean seed; it’s fun to watch a child plant a seed into soil for the first time and know they’ll soon have a sprout,” said , manager of the Houlton Tractor Supply store. “It’s a hobby that instills a lifelong appreciation for where our food comes from and brings families together through hard work and great-tasting food.”
Tractor Supply Co. carries all the supplies a family needs to grow a garden, including mulches, live plants, regular and organic seeds, and garden tools.
