Meadow Ridge Perennial Farm - and anyone else - what farmers markets open in May? Any in eastern Maine? Thanks!
Hi John,
You might try contacting the cooperative extension for your county. They should have a master gardener program and volunteers that like to help with these sorts of projects.
Good luck!
Laura
