Show your support for the Ulster County 4-H Youth Development Program as the Blue Mountain Bloomers, a 4-H Youth Club from Saugerties will be hosting their first annual seedling sale at the Saugerties Farmers’ Market on Saturday, May 30. The Blue Mountain Bloomers are a club consisting of children ages 5-8. The club members have worked hard learning how to plant vegetable and fruit seeds and how they are cared for in a greenhouse. They will be selling their seedlings to raise money for club activities throughout the year. The Blue Mountain Bloomers will be offering a wide variety of seedlings which will include; tomatoes, peppers, basil, cilantro, dill, squash, melons and cucumbers.

The market will take place from 9:00am to 2:00pm at the Cahill Elementary School lot located at 119 Main Street in Saugerties. Rain or shine.

In addition to the seedling sale, Cornell Cooperative Extension of Ulster County’s Master Gardeners will be on hand to answer all your gardening questions and offer soil testing. Soil tests are available for $3 per cup of dry soil.
