Greenhouses, nurseries and garden centers statewide will celebrate Maine Greenhouse and Nursery Day on Saturday, May 6. Dozens of family-owned horticulture-related businesses will kick off the growing season with special events to highlight gardening in Maine.

Planned activities for the events include: demonstrations, workshops, personal tours, expert speakers, refreshments, giveaways, door prizes, raffles, container-planting demonstrations and plants and balloons for children. Participating greenhouses and nurseries also will preview spring introductions and share their expertise by offering gardening tips, information on plant varieties and ideas for window box and landscape design. 

Governor Paul R. LePage remarked on the most recent horticulture numbers from USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS). “Greenhouse and Nursery Day helps highlight the rapidly growing Maine horticulture industry,” said Governor Paul R. LePage. “Maine horticulture sales have increased 43.6 %, double the national average increase since 2009 and the number of Maine horticultural operations have increased 28%. This is yet another positive sign that Maine agriculture continues to grow in size and importance to the Maine economy.”
