Tractor Supply helps young people get growing with garden kits

DOVER FOXCROFT — The Dover Foxcroft Tractor Supply is providing free garden kits to local children to teach the basics of at-home gardening.

On Saturday, May 2 customers can stop by the store to receive a TSC Future Gardeners Kit while supplies  last. A team member will be available to answer questions and explain the best ways to nurture and care for the future garden, while sharing the importance of eating fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs. 

Each kit includes essentials like seed packs, topsoil, a bucket and directions for watering and caring for the seedlings as they grow, providing children with a first-hand opportunity to learn about plant life and  produce. 

“At Tractor Supply, we strive to educate and inspire underserved communities and the next generation  about all things Out Here,” said Dover Foxcroft Store Manager Elyse Dill. “The unfortunate reality is that many young people lack access to fresh produce, let alone an opportunity to see how it grows. With these kits, we can share our knowledge and provide a fun opportunity to discover the thrill of growing fruits and vegetables.” 

To pick up a TSC Future Gardeners Kit, customers can visit the curbside pickup area from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. For more information about this and other community initiatives, visit TractorSupply.com or contact the Dover-Foxcroft store at 207-564-6590.
